In Minnesota we have precinct caucuses, which are usually not very well-attended and often criticized for being the tool of party insiders that end up excluding ordinary citizens. Not this time. I went to mine for the first time in many years and it was absolutely packed with enthusiastic and very pissed-off people, many young people and first-time participants, not the usual old party hacks. AG Keith Ellison arrived to a standing ovation. I'm surprised they weren't handing out torches and pitchforks.
