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.

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.”
