People criticize the dems because they hope the dems might listen.

We need a way to have our voices heard if you don't want us shouting and protesting.

To reduce infighting amongst the democrats, create official avenues for grievances and disagreements to be settled that can actually influence party platform and trajectory without tearing the movement apart.

Use the settling of our varied perspectives to bind us so that our unsettled disagreements don't tear us apart.

This is literally the purpose of the party. People who are quick to disclaim the democrats' corruption have never been to a DNC meeting. It takes more than one person, and it takes more than one meeting, but that's literally what it's there for.

I see a lot of shitting on the Democrats (which, surprise, helps republiQans) but I don't see a lot of discussion about meeting. I don't see a lot of "join us for the ___ meeting on ____ ". Just a ton of idiot garbage like "libz! voting is a sham. they all hate Palestinians"

Right. It's not fulfilling its purpose. That's what we're asking for.

Yeah. Imagine if all these people actually showed up to primaries.

Or motivated non voters to show up to primaries

Imagine if people could trust democrats to run honest primaries.
