Spent the weekend with the state Democrats at our platform convention. Good work and glad to have participated, but 20 hours of zoom over 60 hours is a lot of zoom.
It’s the (roughly) bi-annual platform convention. I think the new platform does a good job of holding to progressive values (even if I wish it went farther in places). I got an amendment in to improve our stance on encryption-related issues, which was nice.
There’s still an editing/proofreading pass to do before it becomes official, but the content is done.
Agreed on “aggressive” — as a general rule, I don’t think most folks are acting like we’re in the kind of crisis we are.
