Despite his assurances to the contrary, Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee is far from a lock. What happens if the DNC winds up hosting a contested convention? In this episode we delve into a brief history of contested conventions and draw upon prior examples to demonstrate how progressives can use a contested convention to their advantage and get the so-called progressive movement back on track.

20:08 plant Raskin /Jayapal 2028 seeds. (Imagine if Cenk Uygur had won the 14th Amendment case that naturalized citizen can run for POTUS / VP.)

We’ve earned our cynicism, Max, haven’t we? Always good to listen to what you have to say.

Pramilla Jayapal is from my state and I love her to pieces, but she's not a natural born citizen. She can't be on the ticket.

Intriguing, but who? Other than Michelle Obama, who would EVERYBODY 'vibe' on? Tom Hanks? How old is he?
