This is exactly the #ShadowCabinet idea pitched by Dr Timothy Snyder weeks ago.

I don't understand why a group of Progressive Dems don't just form their own and start doing the work.

One of three paths are likely to be then happen:

B) institutional Dems form their own shadow cabinet and displace it
C) Media and/or public ignore it and it dies out.

Whatever happens, we're no worse off
