Like a business with executives at the top that have argued in court that what the constitutes want doesnt matter.

Its mostly a massive political network that Dems used to push ineffective policy that won't offend their billionaire donors like Mark Cuban based on old outdated ideas of austerity and altruism.

Their primary function seems to be collect money from the vulnerable utilizing predatory donation collecting that results in seniors finding all their money "donated" and in bankruptcy.

To ensure the constitutes can not force a change in the party the same way Trump did the DNC uses super delegates which are appointed automatically by holding various positions in the party itself. This prevents radical candidates like Bernie Sanders from getting the presidental nomination along with the fact they just ignore the will of the voters which they've argued in court successfully that they do.

Seems to me the primary purpose of the Democrats right now is to waste people's time fighting for ineffectual political policies that will be blocked by the single token "moderate" politician.

They dont do a lot but what they do seems designed to prevent the left from winning.

See the "abundance" agenda for an example of rightwing economic policies wrapped into a liberal dressing.
