The article discusses a gathering of 4,000 Democrats in Anaheim, California, who came together for solace, inspiration, and strategies amid turbulent political times. Amidst the fears brought by Trump’s presidency, the convention encompassed both celebratory spirits and a sense of defiance, highlighted by speeches from prominent figures like Sen. Adam Schiff and Sen. Cory Booker. The attendees participated in various workshops and discussions, all focused on resistance, resilience, and reclaiming their political narrative, embodying the spirit of unity and humor as they prepare to confront future challenges.
"Joy is an act of resistance, state party Chairman Rusty Hicks suggested at a beer-and-wine reception...the party's annual three-day convention with as much conviviality as the downtrodden could muster."
"We do not capitulate. We do not concede. California does not cower. Not now, not ever. We say to bullies, you can go f yourself."
