They’re pretty clear about what they’re asking the DNC to do. It’s in the first paragraph of the article.
Before the election, people were told not to protest so the DNC wouldn’t lose power. Is there any time when are people allowed to tell their leaders that the party has lost its way?
Before the election, people were told not to protest so the DNC wouldn’t lose power.
Maybe immediately before the election isn’t the best time; but the ~3-3.5years prior to that where they are in power and actually able to effect change seems like a great time to loudly ensure they know what their constituents want.
As a third party observer; I’ve heard/seen lots of news about Republicans, what the party is doing, what the public wants, etc.
Democrats on the other hand; I see plenty about what the party is actively doing, but far less about what the public wants from them. There’s certainly some; but there’s just so much less volume that it’s often drown out by the Republicans.
Make yourselves heard and do it when it really matters. Now you’re at a severe disadvantage and honestly you’ll be lucky if you get another chance without another civil war.
Congratulations on missing the simple fact that every protest and campaign against America or Imperialism world-wide for decades has been as squarely aimed at the Democrats as much so as the Republicans. This goes doubly so for US domestic protests.
The US people and people worldwide have been very clear about we want. Stop apologizing for the manchurian party from behind your “third party observer” bullshit.
I’m not apologizing for anyone, I’m just telling you what I see; and that’s democrats constantly being drowned out by loud republicans so much so that you now have a fascist dictator and his nazi boyfriend sitting comfortably in the highest office in the land, dismantling your democracy from within and almost nothing standing in their way.
Dems being drowned out by Republicans is the whole point of the DNC; Its their goal. Leftists have been anything but quiet about the fact that that is our problem.
My point is; why are you just now protesting the DNC, now that they are no longer in a position to actually change anything… Voted them out of power, then tell them to fix shit??? You’re a bit late.
Just a point of clarity here: The Democratic National Committee is NOT the exact same thing as the Democratic parties representatives, although there is a lot of crossover.
Put someone in charge who better represents what the base wants. Exactly what this meeting is about. They are about to select the next DNC leader. Two establishment corporate Dems and one Bernie guy are the main three in the running.
If you want a better Democratic party this can be a big step in making that happen. After the huge loss they just has now is the best chance to get better leaders in power.
Odds are it’s not going to happen but maybe this will change the mind of some of the people who are voting. Show them this group cares and will actually show up if you carter to them.
They lost because they sucked up to corporate interests and dropped any hardball angles. Plus, they didn’t have a primary, because they wanted to have Biden run again cause he’d won last time. It was a piss-poor and frankly tone-deaf campaign. As Andrew Jackson proved, running against someone else isn’t enough. You have to have an actual plan and vision to help people.
Maybe not promise to maybe consider climate goals that are a tenth of what developing countries are currently doing for climate change while hemming and hawing about even these bare minimum goals probably being unreachable so we should just expand oil production.
The fuck is the DNC supposed to do? You voted them out of power.

Of course not.

You need to stop finding excuses for the people who are bad at representing you.
Not American, these people don’t represent me.

They’ve been pressuring Democrats all along. This isn’t their first action, and it won’t be the last.
They were voted out because they ignore their grass roots at the behest of corporate donors and genocidal maniacs.
Speaking as an American, I’m stunned by the lack of political awareness most of my countrymen display.
Over one million people died under Trump and they voted him back in.

Elect Bernie as DNC Chair.
DNC would rather elect Trump to chair than acknowledge Bernie in any way
He is not running.
