In Anaheim, 4,000 Democrats attended a convention seeking solace and strategies amid challenging political times. Attendees engaged in spirited discussions and workshops, adopting a stance of resistance against Trump. Prominent party figures highlighted their legacy while denouncing Trump with colorful language. The atmosphere, though serious about the political landscape, mixed with camaraderie and a sense of joy, as they prepared for shaping the party's future amidst adversity. Senate Democrats including Adam Schiff emphasized their collective strength and resolve not to surrender in the face of perceived political hostility.
Joy is an act of resistance, state party Chairman Rusty Hicks gamely suggested at a beer-and-wine reception, which opened the party's annual three-day convention with as much conviviality as the downtrodden could muster.
We are the party of FDR and JFK, of Pat Brown and the incomparable Nancy Pelosi. We do not capitulate. We do not concede. California does not cower.
