"Yet [this land]'s only as rich as the poorest of her poor / Only as free as the padlocked prison door / Only as strong as our love for this land / Only as tall as we stand"
Phil Ochs - "Power and Glory" (Phil Ochs) (1964)

"Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated for president at the 1932 DNC in Chicago.
While he had some primary votes, it wasnโt enough to clinch the nomination, he won on the fourth round of voting at the convention.
FDR went on to win in a landslide election against Herbert Hoover.'
This song is appropriate for the mood change.
โThere is, of course, some worried hand-wringing. Most of the worries boil down to โthe last time we ran a woman, she lostโ This is trueโbut it also treats one woman as a stand-in for all women, and derives a sweeping lesson from a single race.โ
White men have lost the election. More than women. Funny no one says โlast time we ran a man he lost.โ
History can point us in a direction but without context you may jump to erroneous conclusions.
Good article.
