Democratic Party Dynamics and Nominations

The chapter critiques the Democratic Party's lack of openness to diverse candidates and tendency to anoint nominees like Clinton and Biden without allowing for genuine competition. It discusses concerns about candidate selection for the upcoming election, skepticism towards the party's ability to represent the voter base, and the possibility of an open convention. The conversation also delves into the historic and present-day implications of opposition to conventions and the evolving nature of civic engagement in modern politics.
