Want the Democratic Party to Change?

98. I remember as a local delegate for Obama in 2008 I offered

a platform position that Bush and Cheney should be investigated for war crimes Our precinct leader refused to record it.

It didn't get any easier as there were constant considerations of losing corporate sponsorship and upsetting rich and influential people.

So, it isn't that freaking simple.

And now, even local candidate elections are pushing close to $1,000,000.

There is a conservative core that has infected the Democratic Party. And they run it like a corporation, profit and loss.

I'm not saying you shouldn't get involved, but don't make it sound like it's easy.

If you are a corporatist or Republican scared off by tea party Democratic leadership is quite happy to have you.

If you advocate for strong regulations on banking, anti-war etc, you are going to hit a brick wall.

If the Democratic Party wanted liberals to get involved they would make that known. Dean made it known, and I worked largely because his plan made sense, I felt valued and it worked.

But as soon as the election was over, DNC blew up the grass roots foundations and OFA became this bullshit police force making sure liberals didn't get out of hand.

But, then again, I'm not in a "battleground" state. DNC doesn't really give a shit what happens here.
