    Nations are made of people, that make local gov, that make state govs. We need to change the smallest part that makes up the rest of the machine before you can “fix” the 2 party system.

    Everyone keeps taking about the DNC like it is some colossus. We can either change it to our liking or make our own, but either way it starts by changing the smallest parts first.

      Yep

      The problem is for a lot of people, they’ve only known a corrupt DNC.

      The only purpose of the DNC, is supposed to be to run an unbiased presidential primary every four years, that’s literally it. The Democratic party should be “bottom up” like you describe.

      This one is staying out of other primaries, but endorsing everyone that makes it to the general. Which is fine, the party shouldn’t be picking sides in any primary

      It has no ethical reason for billions of dollars, so it’s been pumping all of it back to state parties who desperately need it.

      They’re not lock and step with billionaire owned media, because why the fuck should they be?

      People look at the DNC right now and are mad “it’s not doing anything”.

      While at the same time saying unprompted that the problem has been the DNC was doing too much.

        The current DNC is refusing to release the 2024 autopsy because it doesn’t support the genocide wing’s narrative.
