In theory, sure, I agree. In practice: not so much.

I’m starting to think you don’t understand that the national level DNC implicitly, yet effectively, sets party policy when the Democratic leadership and senior elected politicians support (or don’t support) specific candidates.

The DNC has successfully spiked more than a few progressive campaigns in favor of centrist neoliberal candidates that are much more corporate friendly… and big-ticket democratic donors put their money towards those corporate candidates. Remember “it’s her turn”? I sure as fuck do. It was as stupid then as it is now.
