The push for a brokered convention is concerning to me b/c it's anti-democratic, shifting power away from the public and to party leaders. The shift away from brokered conventions came during a period where democracy expanded (e.g. civil rights acts). It's just a different type of retrenchment.
the difference been pundits who have spent too much time huffing gasoline and journalists who are actually thinking through this with seriousness is whether they think having a contentious, brokered convention is less problematic than just going with biden's elected successor.
