The benefit of Democrats forming a shadow cabinet now will be twofold:
First, it can serve as a platform for critiquing the policies and behaviors of the GOP. A press conference being held by a random member of Congress critizing, for example, Trump’s anti-labor policies won’t have anything close to the impact of the “Shadow Secretary of Labor” convening members of the press to hear a well-prepared presentation by a person fully qualified to be the next Labor Secretary. More credibility and more publicity.
Second, having Democrats fill the shadow equivalents of every major position in the Trump administration gives each of the prospective candidates for the next Democratic administration an opportunity to fully inform themselves about the issues facing, in this case labor, and thus prepares each shadow secretary to hit the ground running after the next election.
Turns out that it’s not just good politics; it could become one of the best and most essential tools to fight for democracy’s survival.
