They’re not going to change a thing unless people make them.

Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you feel a centrist is only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee

Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can’t do it alone.

    Please spread, cross post, share, whatever; wherever you can. People should have input into the democratic policy platform, but they’re so brazen as to say the “center is where we need to be”.

    These people, these few hundred people, are a big problem with the democratic party.

    We need to take the narrative back from centrists. It can be done by telling the DNC what to do, not the other way around.

      Does the article tell us how to cast a vote? I skimmed it and couldn’t find a link to where I could at least send an email.

        It’s not like that boat will be tallied or even looked at, If you don’t have millions of bucks to give them, you don’t have a voice in government.
