The Dissonance of Political Conventions

This chapter critiques the lack of substantive debate at Democratic conventions, portraying them as self-congratulatory rituals that ignore pressing societal issues. It contrasts the moral virtue espoused by political figures with the sobering realities faced by marginalized communities, highlighted by an impassioned protester outside the event. Additionally, it examines the differing cultural narratives of the Republican and Democratic parties, particularly focusing on expressions of patriotism and religious undertones in political discourse.
