No and not because there aren't similarities but because I don't think Biden will be the dem candidate.

Anyone sense a possible repeat of the 1968 democratic convention may be on the horizon? Same location, different incumbent, and different war but feels eerily similar. I’m here and the word is that they are expecting turmoil. How bad it gets, who knows? The Democrat base thrives on riots and looting. Will this be another excuse to loot the high end stores on the Magnificent Mile? Could be.

What’s to stop them? There is no punishment for rioting and looting in Chicago. The DA doesn’t prosecute these criminals for their crimes

I don't think there will be riots as in 1968, but I would not be surprised if some wacko doesn't try to get to Biden at some point. The media coverage of Crooks and his attempt on Trump will bring the crazies out.

No and not because there aren't similarities but because I don't think Biden will be the dem candidate. Only three weeks left for the Dems to do their virtual vote and secure Biden as the nominee. if Biden is going to step down, he needs to do it within the next 10 days. I think there is about a 60% chance he does. I doubt the Dems could vote to replace him if he doesn't volunteer. Biden seems to have enough support to stop that.

I'm not insinuating it's 1:1 but there are some similarities. Replace rioters with Palestinian protestors for one. We'll just have to see if Iran funds protestors for the occasion or not. 50/50

Will this be another excuse to loot the high end stores on the Magnificent Mile? Could be. Most of the "turmoil" will be behind the scenes and over with by the convention. The DNC has to vote for the nominee before the convention starts. Biden or someone else will be the official nominee before August 7th. The convention will just be a party and rally support for whoever the nominee is. There will be no battle for the nomination at the convention. Those who don't want Biden s the nominee are making their moves currently. They are trying to delay the virtual vote until closer to the August deadline to either get Biden to step down or get enough delegates to jump ship and vote for someone besides Biden to force a second round of voting where the Super Delegates can wield some power.

The Democrats are showing their colors. The only thing that matters is winning. They won’t fight for Biden. They have consistently supported Biden and told everyone he is just fine. Now they attack him behind his back.
They are like rats. They will eat their own if need be.

There will definitely be Palestinian protests. I can assure you of that.

I am sure there will be protests, as there always are at such events. But I do not think there will be violence as there was in 1968. Plus the "turmoil" of trying to unseat Humphrey as the nomination in 1968 will not exist for Biden at this convention as the voting will have already been done and over before the convention starts.

Johnson decided not to run for re-election in March of 1968, he wasn't a contender at the start of the convention.

Again, similarities, not 1:1
