(24,397 posts)The platform is written, the conventions are over. The Ds spent 4 days laying out their platform and giving people a reason to vote for them. Sanders had unprecedented input into the platform. Hillary, Tim and their surrogates are on the hustings delivering the message of the platform to diverse groups of voters.
DU is behind our nominee and the platform. There is other work to be done that's more important than reaffirming what we've already affirmed. That work is centered on solidifying and expanding the base of people who will vote for Ds in the fall.
We're in the silly season that always precedes the debates. The debates usually center on issues (not a guarantee this year). That's the next opportunity for the issues to be discussed.
It has nothing to do with Sanders being out of the limelight. It's what happens every election cycle.
Just because you're unaware of what's going on doesn't mean it isn't happening.
