Because the 1800+ Bernie delegates in Philly will get a very good start in the meetings and breakouts that week on changing the Democratic platform to what is SUPPOSED to be, and the DNC members will continue those efforts during the year.

The current bottom three-quarters of the Democratic platform is paragraph after paragraph about keeping a strong military presence, wars, foreign affairs.

The domestic issues like jobs, our economy, civil rights, get one or two anemic sentences each.

We need a paradigm shift.
