[&#8230;]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cCompared to the Republican Party, which held its convention in Milwaukee in July, the Democratic Party is much more diverse and willing to celebrate that inclusion. There were gender-neutral bathrooms inside the United Center and a quiet space for Muslims who need to pray five times a day.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cThe Democratic Party\u2019s political machine is also a reflection of that diversity. When Kamala Harris launched her campaign for president a month ago, Black women organized a virtual event that led to others featuring Black men, white women, \u2018white dudes,\u2019 Latinos, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders voters and many other affinity groups.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/opinion\/chicago-dnc-democrats-patriotism-diversity-20240823.html\"><strong>The Philadelphia Inquirer<\/strong><\/a><strong>: \u201cIn Chicago, Dems redefined what it means to be American, then claimed it\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Point: <\/strong><em>\u201cWaving flags and chanting U-S-A!
