    Your take that a political party should not address policy is laughable. You are not a serious person.

      Putting aside the rest of their comment; the DNC is not a political party. Their job is to (edit: help Democrats) win elections and whip members to be in line with general policy messaging.

      They’re more like the advertising arm of the party itself.

        Even if the semantic you’re drawing wasn’t completely stupid (it is), the advertising arm would benefit a lot from aligning itself with the voter base

          The semantics were only drawn because the person I responded to misconstrued a comment and then talked down to the poster based on that. If you think it’s stupid to call that shit out then go off, I guess.

          To your point: yes, they would. People have been yelling that for a while. Unfortunately, like the RNC, they’ve shown that they prioritize maintaining the cushy status quo for a small group of people. Dems lose. Voters get mad. The DNC raises hundreds of millions of dollars again the next go around and the game continues.
