>Speaking to the Democratic National Committee, which met to select its new leadership this weekend, outgoing chairman Jaime Harrison attempted to explain a point about its rules concerning gender balance for its vice chair race. “The rules specify that when we have a gender non-binary candidate or officer, the non-binary individual is counted as neither male nor female, and the remaining six officers must be gender-balanced,” Harrison announced.
>As the explanation became increasingly intricate, Harrison’s elucidation grew more labored. “To ensure our process accounts for male, female, and non-binary candidates, we conferred with our [Rules and Bylaws Committee] co-chair, our LGBT Caucus co-chair, and others to ensure that the process is inclusive and meets the gender balance requirements in our rules,” he added. “To do this, our process will be slightly different than the one outlined to you earlier this week, but I hope you will see that in practice, it is simple and transparent.”
>The Democratic Party, at least in theory, is an organization dedicated to winning political power through elected office, though this might seem hard to believe, on the evidence provided by its official proceedings. The DNC’s meetings included a land acknowledgement, multiple shrieking interruptions by angry protesters, and a general affirmation that its strategy had been sound, except perhaps insufficiently committed to legalistic race and gender essentialism.
The good news about the DNC, for those who prefer that the country have a politically viable alternative to the authoritarian personal cult currently running it, is that the official Democratic Party has little power. The DNC chair does not set the party’s message, nor will it determine its next presidential candidate.
Why do I feel like this article is just a bunch of “muh woke”

When will the democrats eject these lunatic progressives from the party?
As long as these fringe groups hold the party hostage to their toxic agenda, republicans will utilize that to win elections again and again. Liberals burying their hands in the sand and pretending that it’s a minority of the base will not help anymore.
Frankly, it’s disgusting to see the Democrats adhere to this ridiculous divisive racial or gender politics, while a small part of the minorities continue to drift towards the Republicans.
Focus on traditional liberal principles such as individualism, meritocracy, rule of law and order, freedom of speech and expression instead of the progressive toxicity.
This party will be shaken by an outsider. Fetterman 2028 or something like that.
G.O.P. broke with neoconservativism in 2016.
Dems will broke with neoliberalism in 2028.
The next primary will be basically revolutionary.
The 2028 nominee (assuming we still have an election) needs to Sister Soulja the DNC.
The DNC needs to get its act together and move to the center and focus on delivery. We really need their A-game.
I’m very worried by the dysfunction
Democrats frankly deserve better
Idk why people think the dnc are leaders of the party? The leaders are the politicians. The shake up will come from them and the dnc will follow along.
It’s clear to me no one has any idea what the dnc is and who it’s made up of.
The party organs need to be completely reformed. They have completely lost touch not just with the electorate but with the average elected Democrat as well.
