she was heading when they discovered she was for Wikler. I think a lot more people should walk out. Not only is the DNC showing it can break out of it's gerontology mode, but it seems to be adopting some of the trump and trump admin's worst practices. This really doesn't sit well... especially for those of us who are craving a DNC that's more dynamic and ready to take on all the open spaces trumpism has given them. Choose one and run with it. Hell, choose a thousand! They're all there and ready to be pushed. Of course, that IS a scary place to be -- protesting against trump.
