I've watched real ones since the advent of network television.
I myself have been an elected delegate to our national union conventions,
which ran virtually identically to how the political conventions used to run.
Here, we have delegates convening, but they're not doing any actual convention work.
All of that is already done behind the scenes by who knows whom?
If you're actually having an actual working convention, you don't start the day at 6PM Eastern.
What we have now are four-night TV Rallies.
You have to go to C-Span for gavel to gavel coverage.
Cable news has more commentary than actual coverage.
I'm enjoying this Democratic National Convention so far, but it's not a real convention.
I used to REALLY enjoy those.
