Democrats in disarray again? I've heard that tune more than Jingle Bells. Here's the answer in my opinion. [View all]

There is no fairly permanent "Democratic Policy Institute" like the GOP has with its Hoover Institute (which sucks)
And no constant reminders of its fight for the people, nor takedown of RW lies.

In between elections, who shares the party's outstanding core values 24 by 7 by 365, like the RW hate machine does?
Just do it.

I just reposted what I think are Democratic Values, and I don't exactly have media clout.

DO IT.

Leadership changes constantly. It's happening right now
Our past presidents and leaders have not maintained a "permanent" presence guiding and coordinating the battle, no doubt because they don't want to seem "partisan" in primaries.

Is there a new Dr. Martin Luther King?
An American Gandhi, Nelson Mandela or Desmond Tutu?
Howard Zinn, Benjamin Spock, Daniel Berrigan, and others outside the political races are gone.

These were all visionaries more than organizers. (it varies, of course)
The party of Putin has more or less permanent organizers and propagandists and a "rotating racist" as a candidate.
How convenient!

Who has the skill with people and organizing/managing?
We have several. Look at the enormous skills of the Clintons, Barack Obama and Joe Biden
"but the primaries".



We need a more or less "permanent" leadership not swayed nor blown up by primary battles.
Change all you want. There is no solid foundation to keep the pressure on, tell voters 24 by 7 by 365 what the core values of the party are, letting prospective candidates present their variations on that, and their unique personalities.

In-between elections, a seated leader can't do that foundation work on their own, and may get into primary battles on their own or for others.

And the party leaders "have to avoid picking sides" but also aren't the "MESSAGE MACHINE" that the other side has. Granted.
