The 1968 Democrat convention is what turned my mom completely sour with electoral politics. She was already decidedly anti-war but the process that shat out Hubert Humphrey threw her into a decades-long depression. There was a glimmer of hope with McGovern in 1972, but we all know where that went.

In 1968 @HillaryClinton traveled to NH to campaign for Gene McCarthy's heroic anti-war presidential campaign.

Wait...wut? My, how people change.
