When it comes to Israel’s handling of the war on Gaza, Democrats are nearly united. Only 8 percent of party members support Israel’s military actions, according to a Gallup poll from last month.
A vote at the Democratic National Committee meeting later this month could once again expose the yawning rift between the party’s base and its leaders, who are lining up to oppose a resolution against arms for Israel.
Allison Minnerly, the 26-year-old committee member sponsoring the measure, told The Intercept Thursday that Democratic leaders risk further alienating party members — especially young voters — if they kill the symbolic resolution.
“Our voters, our base, they are saying that they do not want U.S. dollars to enable further death and starvation anywhere across the world, particularly in Gaza,” said Minnerly, a first-term DNC member from Florida. “I don’t think it should be a hard decision for us to say that clearly.”
The DNC is not interested in representing the will of the voters or even, if it comes down to it, winning elections.
Their SOLE interest is in gorging themselves at the soft money trough. That’s it.
They’ve betrayed us over and over again, and they’re not going to stop. The voters have to take the party back from the greedy, dishonest scum in the DNC.
I don’t see any legal or peaceful way for leftists to reclaim power from the dnc; none.
Even if one thinks most states are actually democracies who fairly count votes; there are good arguments to show how leftists cannot win enough leverage with voting and activism alone.
Only communism ,or a first cousin to it , can succeed.
the disagreement i have is
reclaim
assumes leftists every had a say in the DNC.
A wrong word, I would say an accident. But there are no accidents when it comes to word choices.
I can only assume at some level I am still … something ; a vestige of a previous life
Especially since the DNC is a private entity (not a governmental one) and is not obligated to follow its own rules.
Buy guns
annd now how to use them and teach others the same. The means of production ain’t going to seize itself.

The voters have to take the party back
The Party isn’t worth saving. At this point you’d be better about trying to start a real revolution.

My favorite rant on the topic comes from Blakeley:
📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed
Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump,
than address the material conditions of the American people.@pete_link@lemmy.ml the DNC can do whatever it damn well pleases. They aren’t Trump, that’s all they need to do right now. To expect anyhting more is too have far too much faith.
