The Democrats’ new party platform has everything: a land acknowledgement, Nick Fuentes, and 150 mentions of Donald Trump. The party, currently gathered on the traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, commonly known as “Chicago”, will vote tonight to officially approve the new suggestions.

The sprawling 92-page document, which was released to the public only this morning, was drafted before Joe Biden exited the race and thus awkwardly mentions the President 287 times, including 19 mentions of a second Biden term, compared to only 32 mentions of Kamala Harris, many of which in fact refer to the “Biden-Harris Administration”.
The document also contains a lengthy ode to the police, a remarkable change in tone from the 2020 platform’s call to “overhaul the criminal justice system from top to bottom”. In addition, it mentions Donald Trump’s meeting with “white supremacist, antisemite, and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes”. Have any Democrats actually read it?
