The Democratic National Convention is the week after next, and the radical left and Islamists anre already gearing up for protests throughout the event. We’ve seen this play out at the DNC before, but this year the focus is clearly going to be about the conflict in Israel.
The same antics we have watched play out in cities and on college campuses will now be happening right outside the Democrats’ convention hall. They won’t be able to ignore the fact that these are their base voters.
The March on the DNC website makes their position pretty clear:
The March on the DNC coalition fights for the rights and liberation of oppressed people and against the exploitation of workers. Beginning on August 19th 2024, we will march on the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to bring the people’s agenda to within sight and sound of the Democratic Party leadership.We recognize the Democratic Party as a tool of billionaires and corporations.Their actions, such as financing genocide in Palestine and war in multiple countries; continuing the mass incarceration of Black and brown people; deporting millions of immigrants; and neglecting campaign promises made to the oppressed communities who represent their voting base, show that the Democratic Party only serves the agenda of the rich and powerful. Recent gains in the rights of oppressed people have been made by grassroots organizations in spite of a lack of support and often outright opposition from Democratic Party leaders.
This Washington Times report quotes Professor Jacobson:
Muslim Democrats buoyed by Shapiro snub encourage ‘mass demonstrations’ at DNCIf bypassing Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro for the 2024 presidential ticket was supposed to lower the pro-Palestinian temperature at the Democratic National Convention, the strategy may have backfired.Muslim Democrats are calling for “mass demonstrations” at the Aug. 19-22 event in Chicago, citing Vice President Kamala Harris’ selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as evidence that the push for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war is gaining momentum.“Vice President Kamala Harris has finally heeded the voices of thousands of pro-Palestinian delegates, activists and allies,” the Muslim Delegates & Allies Coalition said in a Thursday press release. “This decision highlights the importance of staying engaged with the political system and actively participating in the Democratic Party’s processes.”…“By passing over Josh Shapiro because of protests that he was too pro-Israel, the Harris team may have thought they would avoid defections from anti-Israel voters in Michigan and elsewhere, but it may have the opposite effect,” said Cornell Law School professor William Jacobson, who runs the Legal Insurrection Foundation.“Paying ransom to hostage takers never works, and Harris paid ransom to the anti-Zionists by passing over Shapiro,” he told The Washington Times. “There is no indication that the protests at the DNC are scaling back, and if anything, sacrificing Shapiro at the altar of anti-Zionism has accelerated the planned attacks.”
It’s probably going to be total chaos.
