People SCREAMED at the party. Muslim Democrat voters made all the democracy moves, and got told to get lost:

• Organized a massive protest movement,
• Made their desires and convictions known publicly and directly to leadership who’d listen
• Turned out and protested in person
• Were snubbed any kind of representation or platform at the DNC, even for a curated speech by a sitting Congressional member
• Ran a massive protest vote in the Democratic primaries, which if sustained (which it was in the general) meant that the Dems would loose Michigan at a minimum (which Kamala did) and its 15 electoral college votes went for Trump

The party has to be listening for anyone’s voice to be heard. Until you hit your FEC donor limit and the throw down even more for a Super PAC, or pay for a seat at fundraiser dinner/chat a you’re definitely a nobody to them. We need a new party:

Organizers said about 700 people attended the fundraiser. Ticket prices ranged from $3,300 to a half million dollars. Political experts said this visit is essentially a trip to the ATM.

August 12 Zoom event with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, where tickets ranged from $1,000 to $25,000

If you get involved you can have your voice heard in the party.

I don’t think you’ve ever actually volunteered in a Democratic political campaign. The party leadership is far more interested in talking than listening.

I’m not talking about AOC’s influence

If a three-term Congresswoman with enormous fundraising power isn’t able to influence her Minority Leader, what is she even doing in that job?
