5. I was a delegate to my state senate district convention. It's where platforms start getting assembled.

Proposed resolutions were submitted at the precinct caucuses and then voted on at the district conventions. Some of them were kind of goofy but most were consistent with the party's progressive leanings, at least in my district. The state convention then decides the final platform based on what comes out of the local conventions and eventually, along with platforms from the other states these are digested into a national party platform. It's a fascinating process and I was glad for the opportunity to vote at the grassroots level.
