Yes... often as a weird feeling of temporal displacement an uncanny sensation... only wish it was in fact 1968...for all the problems then, and there were many, at least the biosphere and climate had not been completely trashed beyond repair as it is now.
I have no idea why they would add the 1972 convention held in Miami Beach, FL. and the 1976 convention held in NYC's Madison Square Garden onto this clip. This is in reference to what's going on inside of the convention itself. You can clearly see the podium sign with the years on it. Good catch!
If you want to delve deeper into this part of history I recommend reading “Boss: Richard J. Daley of Chicago” by Mike Royko. It was so controversial that Daley’s people tried to get every copy out of the stores so no one could read it. Classic. I worked at that Hilton in the 90’s and remember the pretty much uneventful DNC convention in ‘96. I don’t think this year’s convention will be as crazy as the ‘68 convention but I doubt it will be as smooth as the’96 convention.
Tuli Kupferberg and Abbie Hoffman will not be there this time. I do not see as much motivation to attend as I did in 1968. But there are some Kids who display enthusiasm. It may be colorful? It will be well Covered..... The Phone was attached to the Wall in 1968......
I was only in 4th grade back then, but even at age 10 I was captivated by the whole process. A few things struck me then that I find fascinating even today. The first was that the dems, similarly to today, seemed oblivious to how badly they’d screwed things up under JFK and then LBJ. Second, they had huge numbers of baby boomer kids who were young and idealistic and who knew little about the sordid business of politics. Last, but not least, the 68 conventions were live and I color and it was for many people the first time they saw with their own eyes how political parties operated. I remember I was struck by how ugly the processes tended to be. The networks advertised “gavel to gavel coverage” and the parties in those days ran their conventions in plain view of the tv cameras. Floor fights, demonstrations, platform fights, Mayor Daley… you couldn’t make better tv if you made it up!
These are not democrats today. They robbed us of our primary. We didn’t get to choose our candidate. We voted. Kamala off the stage in the 2020 primary. She was the 1st off and they make us take her. I’m done. I’ve lost hope
@@billolsen4360 No, Nixon ran a strong race, and offered a legitimate alternative to the dems who had just spent 8 years tearing America apart. The dems ran Johnson’s VP who promised more of the same disastrous policies that Kennedy and Johnson had presided over.
The plot ghosts are working hard to keep time flowing as it should. The incumbent president decides not to run, Robert F. Kennedy is in the race, the Democratic nomination is being handed to the sitting vice president who competed in no primaries, and the Democratic Party is plagued by an activist faction on its left that thinks we're on the wrong side of a foreign war.
It is now Aug, 15, 2024 ... Come Monday of next week of Aug, 19, 2024 I pray to The Most High my melanted, African Afro people stand up and take a stand against what has been going on these last 4yrs. This was not that long ago. It should not still be division, war and hate going on in this country and this country/ our government should not be funding it nor endorsing it, but sadly they are and we are still seeing it 'til this day. I'm 23yrs of age born and raised in Montgomery, AL now a resident in Dallas/ Frisco, Texas. The way this country is falling apart and how much the division has come, it is insane and should not be continuing on the way it is. My people in Chicago, GET UP, STAND UP... STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHT!!!! GET UP,. STAND UP, DON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT!!!! You can kill the messenger, but you can't kill the message!!!!!
looks like it will be democrat vs democrat again in 2024... hopefully trump will go there a week later and speak. that would be fantastic. hopefully the secret service will be fired and a private company will be hired to protect 45 and future 47
Yeah, not a good look. But what's even more bizarre today is we have a guy who has been indicted 91 time, with at least four trials coming so far, and STILL STILL STILL running around free campaigning for the White House again! He makes the 68 riots look like peanuts.
It's possible the war may have ended much sooner if he had lived. What happened in the 1960's was sort of a double edged sword though. JFK, King and Bobbi's assassinations, the prolonged war which caused college and young peoples protests, just coming off laws passed during the civil rights movement, this gave rise to all marginalized groups to push to make real change which also included women. Government was put under tremendous pressure to help make those changes also. Sacrifice is always made when great change comes. In my mind, it was all worth it and I give thanks to those who sacrificed themselves.
@@hughdismuke4703In 1968 candidates for president were still actually chosen at the conventions. The primaries were important, but were still mostly guidelines. So, who knows, but Humphrey could still very likely have gotten the nod even if RFK had lived.
Vietnam was about Colonial Exploitation, Victoria Nuland set Her Sights Higher. Once again some Investors desire someone else' Sheit? I always assumed the Johnson Administration ran out of money.

It was Hot that day and night, I just came home from Viet Nam, when I smelled the tear gas I ran for cover. I was running on the backs of people on the ground and street. I wasn't going to get my head kicked in for any politician. I thought I was crazy the people there never knew what they were getting into. 🙄

I wonder how many protesters that was detained made it to the police stations or the morgue.
I think I remember the protesters put vasoline jelly on their hands and clothes so the police couldn’t grab and hold them.
