"SNIP......

CBS News: “Democratic Party leaders across the country are calling on party bosses to curtail, postpone or dramatically rethink the party’s national convention scheduled for July in Milwaukee, concerned that holding a mass gathering just as levels of infection are expected to ebb could expose thousands to the coronavirus once again.”

“Calls from the party faithful to rethink the Democratic National Convention come as the party’s presumed presidential nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden, for the first time publicly expressed doubt that the gathering could proceed as it has in the past.”

There will be no floor fight. We will be lucky if we have a virtual convention. This shit ain't close to over.

I went in 2016 and I was planning on honoring my local tradition even before COVID 19. Now there is no way that I would attend a convention. You are exhausted with the logistics and I have a number of risk factors.

If there is a live national convention, have fun.

The DNC has got to pull out all the stops to insure that our candidate (Biden) is named and the November 2020 election takes place. Whatever it takes!

the week before the puke con, no one watches the first 2 nights except the party bases, any reason why it needs to be in July with no Olympics the week after?
