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.
That’s a really precise breakdown and appears to hit the nail on the head.
What would be the most effective strategy to wake them up to the new political realities? Because I don’t think even this election did that.
I really have no idea. Maybe joining up with the sensible ones and hoping they multiply, and supporting Bernie Sanders in whatever he’s wanting to do to adapt to the Trump era.
Also, joining with a union and your workplace and wielding political power outside of the professional politician class sounds like a good idea.
