The '''Democrat National Convention''', euphemistically called the "Democrat'''''ic''''' National Convention," is a [[president]]ial nominating convention that has been held every four years since 1832 to nominate the presidential candidate for [[United States]]' Democrat party. They also establish a party [[platform]] at this national convention. But there is nothing "democratic" about this national convention of Democrats; [[pro-life]] views, though shared by many Democrats, are censored from the podium.
In 2012, the Democrats' national convention was held in [[North Carolina]], from Tuesday, September 3, to Friday, September 6. Originally Democrats hoped to win North Carolina and thus chose it as the location for its convention in order to boost its chances, but Republicans seemed likely to carry this state.
==2008==
The 2008 convention was held at [[Invesco Field]] in Denver [[Colorado]]. Denver officials had constructed a secret jail to house those that would misbehave in the Mile High City when the Democrats attend their convention. The makeshift holding center, dubbed "Gitmo on the Platte" by activists, contains barbed wire fencing and signs warning of stun gun use. The Steele Street warehouse was designed to process 60 arrestees per hour.<ref>[http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=97741&catid=188 City defends 'secret jail' built for DNC] 9News.com</ref>
Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, spoke at a prayer service at the convention. Hidden from the public because nobody debated it at the time, the group has ties to funding [[Hamas]] terrorists and the facts were well known July 2008. Mattson's group says it does not condone terrorism. The Holy Land Foundation and five of its former leaders were convicted of funneling millions of dollars to Hamas for which the ISNA funded and supported.<ref>[httphttps://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/17/feds-say-obama-prayer-leader-group-linked-hamas/ Feds Say Obama Prayer Leader Is From Group Linked to Hamas] Fox News, January 17, 2009</ref>

In the audience were over 100 Sanders delegates, including most of DSA's 55 member-delegates; they were joined by Larry Sanders, Senator Sanders’ brother, and the Senator's son, Levi Sanders. The enthusiastic audience heard from leaders of the two largest unions that backed Sanders. Michael Lighty, political director of National Nurses United (and former DSA national director) analyzed the “transformative,” anti-corporate nature of Sanders’ call for [[single-payer]] healthcare and a financial transactions tax to finance free public higher education. Communications Workers of America District One Legislative Director Bob Master argued that a post-Sanders political trend would have to broaden its racial basis and coordinate work around several key racial and economic justice demands. DSA National Director Maria Svart, El Paso DSA activist and Sanders delegate Ashley Rodriguez, and New York City DSA Co-chair Rahel Biru outlined the role DSA locals play in multi-racial coalitions and electoral campaigns to fight for immigrant rights, affordable housing and democratic public education. Jose LaLuz, DSA vice-chair and veteran labor and Puerto Rican rights activist, brought down the house with an impassioned plea to end United States [[colonialism|colonial]] rule in [[Puerto Rico]]. [[Maria Svart]] and [[Joseph Schwartz]], DSA National Political Committee member and chief organizer of the caucus, briefly outlined the NPC's outlook on the election: building a stronger, multi-racial and anti-racist “post-Bernie trend” that can be in opposition to a neoliberal [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] administration on day one. This can be accomplished, in part, by engaging in independent “Dump Trump” work in swing states (e.g., working for down-ballot progressives and engaging in voter registration and voter turnout among anti-Trump, progressive constituencies). In non-contested states, DSA locals can work for down-ballot progressive candidacies and build independent left electoral and social movement capacity. Numerous participants remarked on social media that the caucus was one of the most substantive meetings at the convention. A score of participants joined DSA on the spot and the DSA table rapidly sold out of its 50 bright red DSA “Continuing the Political Revolution” T-shirts. :''"Shout-outs to all the DSA delegates and volunteers who helped build the caucus.

The victim accused Epstein of raping her several times, told the ''Daily Mail'' that the photos were taken in September 2002 after Clinton fell asleep on the Lolita Express on an alleged "humanitarian" trip to Africa. Clinton was 56 at the time of the photos and victim was 22.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/08/20/epstein-used-bill-clintons-name-to-intimidate-15-year-old-accuser/</ref> Documents unsealed in late July 2020 contain statements of Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who told an attorney that the former president visited Epstein’s private island. ==2024=={{See also|United States presidential election, 2024}} ==See also==*[[Politburo]]
