My understanding is that it is still up in the air. Not changing the date isn't the same as saying, "We are going to do it no matter what." My understanding is while they may have not changed the date, they never said they were unwilling to change it as conditions change.
The GOP is acting like "We don't give a fuck if 1 million people die , we are holding this convention come hell or high water."
The vibe I am getting from the DNC is, different, "We are hopeful we can still do it, but are open to change if need be."
Ok you got me, and yes, this is very dissapointing.

I hold out hope that they can rethink it. I think they have more of an ability to step back if need be. I simply hope the DNC isn't going to get stupid and try to compete with GOP stupidity.
It wasn’t meant to be a ‘gotcha’. Sorry if it came off that way.

I didn't take it as a "gotcha". Sorry if I came across that way.
You gave me pause, and I thought, "Oh shit", so I did a google search, and damned if you were not correct. I posted the link to say you were correct.
But I still think between the two parties Dems are far more likely to step back than the GOP to do the right thing. But this does bother me because long term, even outside this virus, it has always disappoints me when Dems try to compete with them, instead of standing up to them.
Dems lose a lot of elections trying to compete on their narrative.
That is just as frightening too.
