    When I asked him what his vision of a successful Democratic convention looked like, Johnson repeated the same formulation — “safe, vibrant and energetic” — before saying he wanted young people to “see what democracy really looks like.”

    At no point did he mention Joe Biden or the importance of the convention in helping the president’s reelection.

    It was an eye-opening exchange. And it made clear why so many Democrats, in Chicago and beyond, respond to questions about Johnson with a sigh and hope that he’ll recognize the weight of this moment, both for his career, the city and the country.

    The shear amount of contempt that these ghouls have for the public is palpable. So the mayor should care more about the decrepit corpse that is currently helping Israel's genocide of Palestinians than the people who are protesting to bring an end to it?

    Fuck off with this nonsense. "Democracy" is fine and dandy until it becomes an inconvience for the establishment.

      [The dems] hope that he’ll recognize the weight of this moment.

      The dems' insane levels of stupidity and wishful thinking never fail to amaze me. They are recreating "Today, Trump became presidential..." all over again. I think it's telling that libs only use "When someone shows who are they are - believe them" for one person. Trump.
