 Then we could go into the Democrat convention next month and figure it out. Would it be messy? Yes. Democracy is messy. But would it enliven our party? Would it embiggen us all and wake up voters who long before the June debate had already checked out? It sure would. The short ramp to election day would be a benefit for us, not a danger. It would give us the chance to showcase the future without so much opposition research and negative campaigning.
