Who decides what policies the DNC chooses for their national platform? Obviously corporate donors effect the bottom line of the organization, but who are the power brokers internally at the DNC that make the decisions to create those policies that favor corporations over people?
This is their leadership team, but something tells me they’re not the ones making the decisions to not advocate for Medicare for all, or other widely popular left wing policies.
It comes across to me as much more realpolitik than needless cynicism. I also don’t think there’s any conspiracism in there, it’s much more game theoretic, in the sense that we’ve reached an uncoordinated local optimum that’s hard to break out of. There’s not nearly as many smoke-filled back rooms where deals are made as people think, but there is a lot of shared interest in not rocking the boat among wealthy people.
