Bernie is right in that Dems need to focus on inequality and not identity politics. But the DNC didn’t do shit. The DNC isn’t a person with policies of its own. It was individual politicians that failed us.
the DNC gave us Trump, twice.
The DNC didn’t give you shit. VOTERS gave you Donald Trainwreck.
I am SO sick of this “the DNC is a person that gives us things” shit. IDENTITY POLITICS is the problem. Not focusing on INCOME INEQUALITY is the problem. INDIVIDUAL POLITICIANS who don’t understand these things are a problem. The DNC is simply an organization chosen by the primary voters every 4 years with nearly complete turnover in that time period. Focus on the right problem. Whoever wins the most primary delegates IS THE DNC. And if somebody like Bernie wins, THEY ARE THE DNC for the next 4 years.
I agree that identity politics is the problem. I use “DNC” as shorthand for “the politicians currently in charge of the DNC that are blocking any attempt at change”, so I think we agree there too.
