The party will stand for nothing in 2016 and the outcome of the race will not matter.
ONLY a race where someone is standing defending workers, the poor, and activists for change will produce any passion or enthusiasm on the Democratic side.
A coronation will make the fall 2016 race an energy-free zone, a passion-free zone, a mundane competition of factions of the wealthy, because the party will do nothing but blur the differences on all but a few trivial side isues and appease Wall Street and the Pentagon. The poor won't be mentioned in the campaign(which guarantees that they won't be helped after it)workers will continue to take second place to the bosses, and it will be war without end no matter who wins.
Such a race can only mean a landslide Democratic defeat, because the voters don't want TWO parties of the corporate status quo.
Why would ANYONE other than the Republicans want us to take that path?
Why lose with blandness when we could win by firing up the economic majority, by committing to real change from below?
