    Isn’t the democrats a democratic party? My guess would be that the DNC is run by who the members vote for to do it.
    That’s how ALL parties work in my country.

    quite segregated by an easy and west divide

    Gotta protect them privileges. 🤮

      The DNC and RNC aren’t actually part of the parties or government it’s weird. They are private entities that back candidates and kind of officially unofficially run the parties (well Trump runs the republicans.) I still don’t totally understand why they exist. Specifically why the DNC exists and as a non democratic or representative entity, exerts so much control over the democrats.

        So if the DNC were to disappear, the Democratic Party would still exist, with far less baggage.

        Good to know.
