The Democrats released their 2024 party platform on Monday morning, which begins with a Marxist land acknowledgment stating that the land on which the Democratic National Convention is taking place, the city of Chicago, is in fact stolen land. They then praise their party for supporting tribes and essentially giving self-governance to native tribes within the United States. The platform focuses on the presidential accomplishments of President Joe Biden and does not appear to have been particularly revised for the new Dem candidate, VP Kamala Harris

In a section on Ukraine, the platform reads: "President Biden will never turn his back on our allies. In his second term, he will continue to stand with Ukraine to stop Putin’s atrocities and constrain Russia’s threat to allied nations and America’s vital interests." Biden, the DNC should be aware, is no longer running for a second term in the White House. 
 

"The Democratic National Committee wishes to acknowledge that we gather together to state our values on lands that have been stewarded through many centuries by the ancestors and descendants of Tribal Nations who have been here since time immemorial," the land acknowledgment reads. "We honor the communities native to this continent, and recognize that our country was built on Indigenous homelands. We pay our respects to the millions of Indigenous people throughout history who have protected our lands, waters, and animals."

"While we meet in Chicago, we also recognize and honor the traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, also known as the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. We acknowledge the many other tribes who consider this area their traditional homeland, including the Myaamia, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Wea, Kickapoo, and Mascouten," it continues. While this may seem like a small detail, it is an indication of the Marxist ideology underpinning the Democrat Party, their platform, and their intentions should Harris be elected as president.

"Democrats continue to support tribes as they advocate for the United States to uphold treaty and trust responsibilities," it continues. "We applaud that in 2024, under the Biden-Harris Administration, the Prairie Band of Potawatomi Nation became the first federally recognized Tribal Nation in Illinois in 175 years, when the U.S. Department of the Interior placed 130 acres of the Shab-eh-nay reservation in nearby DeKalb County into trust."

In practice, a land acknowledgment is intended to call attention to the history of colonialism, violence, broken treaties, and "stolen land." In beginning with this progressive, Marxist practice, the DNC is putting grievance at the front and center of their platform. After that, they cite the "inflection point" that President Joe Biden so frequently invokes and states that the "stakes in this election are enormously high." 

"President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job," it reads. Biden is no longer running. He was essentially pushed out of the race and replaced with Kamala Harris, his vice president, who he chose, in part, because she was female and black.

On the economy, the platform invokes Harris' recent claims that inflation has been caused by "price gouging," which she proposes to fix using price controls. Many economists on both sides of the political aisle say that supply chain issues stemming from the long-term effects of global supply snarls during the pandemic, as well as government over-spending, are to blame.

The plan also backs medical sex changes for children, calling the group of so-called trans children "transgender youth." The plan does not give age limits on when this care should begin. The Biden-Harris administration's Asst Secretary of Health and Human Services, trans Dr. Rachel Levine, has advocated against any blanket age limits to the practice at all. The LGBTQ section of the platform takes up 2 pages, makes false claims that under Trump, people can be "thrown out of a restaurant for being gay." The platform, which Harris will adopt, promises to pass sweeping protections for LGBTQ persons via the Equality Act, which conflates biological sex with gender identity, erasing protections for women.

"Democrats will vigorously oppose state and federal bans on gender-affirming health care and respect the role of parents, families, and doctors – not politicians – in making health care decisions," the plan reads. The Biden-Harris administration has already passed far-reaching regulations reshaping the scope of every federal agency to be more inclusive of trans and gender ideology. This resulted in a policy from the Dept. of Agriculture removing free lunch funding from schools that did not allow boys to use girls' bathrooms. In June, it was reported that the Biden-Harris administration opposed sex changes for children, but as they said that, they were suing the state of Tennessee for banning those medical procedures.

The platform codifies the media-driven lie that Trump called white supremacists "very fine people," which has been debunked roundly, including by major fact-checking groups. It makes additional false claims about Trump's statements on race. The DNC effort downplays the border failures of Biden-Harris, claiming that Trump, who built a wall and saw illegal immigration levels drop to less than 500,000 in his last year in office, rejected plans to secure the border. The platform also calls for increases in the number of immigrants from specific countries, including Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Ukraine and Venezuela.

On the contentious topic of Israel, the platform touts the Biden-Harris administration's funding of both sides of the conflict, saying "The Administration worked with Congressional leaders to pass a historic aid package worth $14 billion to help Israel defend itself and to provide more than $1 billion for additional humanitarian aid to Gaza." In terms of US action as that conflict continues, the platform offers rhetoric about "both sides," while blaming Israel for "settler violence," a term echoed in the protests by leftists outside the convention.
