Love, love, love. As someone stepping into this arena in new ways, and conscious of not wanting to “step on toes,” it’s useful to remember there are less toes to step on than I think (or at least doing so matters less than I think) and not stepping up because of some idea that there’s no free space to fill is a miscalculation — a big one.

The party is not a machine. It’s more like a group chat — chaotic, disorganized, chronically over-messaged, and occasionally decisive when enough people actually decide to do something together. No one appointed anyone to run it. (Sorry to Ken Martin). No one is going to run it (at least, not until we get through the presidential primary.) But that also means the question isn’t really “what will the Democratic Party do?” It’s: What are you going to do?
