Frankly too many of us IGNORE democratic party politics, until its too late. Lets not repeat the debacle of last DNC convention.
WHAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE DNC? Approximately 447 members serve on the National Committee. The membership is composed of the following general categories:
"Most voting DNC members — a majority of whom are state party chairs, vice chairs or other locally elected officials — are keeping their options open ahead of a string of candidate forums in January and February." Read the Democratic Party Platform (extra credit) My ultra-simplified summary: Ellison represents the "Bernie" side of the party. Perez represents the "old/clinton" side of the party. Trust needs to be built between the coalitions. There needs to be reassurances that the party will be progressive enough, and will represent all of its people. There needs to be commitments that the back room dealing done by the Party before the 2016 election, as leaked by wikileaks will never happen again. Who is your State Democratic party representative: - Oddly I can't find this information anywhere. This is a problem. Oregon: docs.google.com/document/d/1cr--iTm73zwDIA0rStBuSv7crHXOnT8cjsSUp5sqC-E/edit# Ellison is the "front-runner', and Harrison just dropped out today, endorsing Perez, which may put him over the top.
