... and I believe that future conventions should continue to be virtual. (Or, post-covid, maybe just one FINAL day at a convention center with a big balloon drop.)

And even though there may be post-covid crowds and spectators at future inaugurations... I really like the egalitarian aspect of having a coast-to-coast televised "parade" and a special concert and speakers to end the day.

It was SPECTACULAR!!

The Democrats and the Democratic Party have reached NEW HEIGHTS and set a NEW STANDARD for both events!!
