When political parties actually had some grassroots networks, this sort of loss of local or state control was less unusual than it is in our time. The national body invariably gets the final say about such things, and, historically, would rather lose than to have the party win without the appropriately vetted leadership. The DNC will have much to say about this in the end.
I don't know that the Democratic party apparatus ever organized unions, and the entire notion that it should is rather revealing. Put another way, if we want to organize unions, we organize unions. You want mass demonstrations, you build mass demonstrations. You don't start by taking over seats in the Democratic party hierarchy. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
