Who's Setting The Agenda For The Democratic Party?

Politics

Simple question. Who has the power in the Democratic Party? Who is setting the agenda? Determining the direction?

Who does Biden have to have to get elected? Who’s key?

Simple answer. The Democratic party votes on a party platform every four years. Typically at the national convention.

This year the Vice President choice is less important than ever.

Interesting. Why?

The way Trump has made anything and everything into the the last 4 years into a personal issue has essentially turned the election into a referendum on him…You either want more Trump or you want him gone

Good Lord man! Pay attention! Trump is not even a blip in the radar screen of what I’m talking about. I’m talking about power. Real power.

The Party, not the people.

I don’t know how else to say it.

Somebody is guiding the DNC, it’s not ■■■■■■■ Trump. It’s not “we vote on it!” Not the kabuki, the power.

I thought it was people like Pelosi and Schumer, the old guard. But now I don’t think so anymore.

The office of the President is not political power. Unless…

Of course there is.

Trump’s perfect storm of ineptness did the one thing that no political strategist has been able to figure out. He united the 2 factions of the Democratic Party as well as jettisoned all Republican dissenters into a coalition

The primary agenda that is (or should be) set by the Democratic Party is to remove Trump from office in 4 months. What happens after that is a good question, but priorities should have them united in one mission right now.

We want to stop him from doing xyz so we can do abc. Why do we want to do abc and who determine that?

I do hope this is reflected at the ballot box in November.

Dude, you have got to get over this Trump thing.

Two factions? Which two factions? Who’s in charge of the two factions?

What happens after that has already been determined. What happens 5 from years from now has already been determined. Trump is a speed bump and Biden a tool.

Who’s driving?
