In order to protect the city and the region as well, the Democratic Party may withdraw its national convention in Chicago in August and maintain its meet via Zoom, as it did during the 2020 plan and the coronavirus pandemic.
For the time, leave the apparent issues with holding a social show in a city that has become a symbol of Democratic Party mismanagement. The murder wave, the failing universities, the migrant crisis — all are Republican talking points. In a destructive deep blue condition that is already locked for him in November, Lord knows what possessed President Joe Biden to choose Chicago. Regardless, he then has a fantastic opportunity to remove a horrible political mistake.
Chicago will be a battle deserving of the panic of 1968, when anti-war protesters rioted in Grant Park and clashed with police in the roads. The anti-Israel mobs that have taken control of university campuses have gathered in the Windy City like the Great Chicago Fire, causing disruption to lessons, mocking Jews, vandalizing houses, and assaulting editors. They want to impose their plans on Biden’s plan and put him on Biden’s radar because he appears to support Israel.
Never mind that Biden has been criticizing Israel and its democratically elected government for decades and has denied Hamas ‘ triumph, for which thousands of Israelis have already died. The protesters have inverted real.
The confrontations between school and neighborhood police are just the start of what lies ahead for Chicago. The criminals who assaulted me at UCLA last week had a lot of training. Attorney General Merrick Garland, Civil Rights Division mind, Kristen Clarke, and the White House equivocated on the nature of the companies and donors who had coordinated campaigns across the country and who had violated the legal privileges of Jews. They wo n’t be able to make up for the meeting in August.
While there might be some education of , sadness for Republicans in seeing Democrats destroy themselves, repeating the terrible story of 1968 and tanking Biden’s chances of ll- election, some things are also above politics.
One of them is the love for one’s town, which my household adopted when we immigrated in the late 1970s. I had a strong love for Chicago and was educated in cities that were near the western and northern parts. I also do.
It was, in fact, the best day to be there. The 1980s were the age of Ferris Bueller, and another John Hughes treasures. After years of indolence, Mike Ditka led the Chicago Bears to greatness. Air Jordan arrived in the city in the 1990s, bringing NBA finals there. Democrats had clearly applaud the 1996 Democratic National Convention, which I covered for school television, because the Bulls kingdom coincided with an economical restoration.
But since the withdrawal of the Daleys from City Hall, crooked though they were, Chicago has faltered. The extremists have taken over from Brandon Johnson, Lori Lightfoot, and Rahm Emanuel’s careless services. The Magnificent Mile and nearby districts were thrown out by the Black Lives Matter riots, which they were unable to control. Why should anyone think Chicago would suffer favorably when confronted by pro-terrorist crowds on the city’s roads?
Democrats should not do what they did in 2020, when they held a virtual agreement in Milwaukee. Make a good picture about the wealthy history of the city: its rise from the ashes, its strong passions, its abundant diversity. therefore proceed to Zoom for the rest. After all, it worked in 2020. Save Chicago from the assault, from the ground fights, from the expected assaults on synagogues.
It’s the proper move, diplomatically and socially. The Democratic foundation is simply too risky.
