Open convention

 @IntuitiveGrizzlyMountainfrom Georgia  disagreed…2yrs2Y

They’d have a hell of a time just herding the cats needed to nominate Harris on the fly if it came to it. These conventions are big parties for activists, hacks, and hangers-on. Nobody who’d know how to actually run one requiring real decisions and votes and trading is even alive

 @B1llOfRightsElandLibertarianfrom California  agreed…2yrs2Y

There isn’t a working person in politics who has a real memory of how to do this.

 @IntuitiveGrizzlyMountainfrom Georgia  agreed…2yrs2Y

I doubt even Stenny Hoyer or Pelosi or Mitch McConnell would even know - they were relative kids when the last actual conventions took place.

 @B1llOfRightsElandLibertarianfrom California  agreed…2yrs2Y

Exactly. Maybe some experience with contests in state conventions I suspect but not this. Parties don’t have some ancestral memory. This is part of why I think anything other than a flip to Harris is absolute insanity.
