We break down the historic result from the DFL city convention last weekend: the endorsement of Sen. Omar Fateh for Mayor. What made this possible, when almost everybody (including us) was predicting an outcome of no endorsement? We were joined by angela olson, who participated as a delegate, to share a direct account of what it felt like on the floor. Stick around for the second half, when we dive into the question of WHY these conventions are so painful, and how we think they could be a lot better. Recorded 7/23/25.
