I would like to suggest that an Open pre-Convention be held in Philadelphia where the revamped agenda for an Open Convention (including a vote on the proposition for a non-binding anonymous vote could be agreed to -link) could be voted on; Those delegates unable to attend can still vote remotely. Philadelphia sends a good message. What is that message? “It’s not about Kings; we need to stand up to leadership when it’s wrong.”
-
The even tighter timetable for an Open pre-Convention means the threat of an Independent walkout if Biden continues to dig in has to be made IMMEDIATELY.

Who can form a slate for a pitch? Any present or former Democratic governor, US Senator, or Representative. They must be currently registered as a Democrat. The slates would have to present a President and VP. They would have to have a policy brochure explaining their positions on domestic and foreign policy. The DNC could assist by having a topic list furnished to the prospects, and the prospects can add to that list any they see fit.
-
Delegate voting should be done in two rounds as I had discussed here (link), to insure that a decision can be arrived at with a minimum of coercion and retaliation.
