What I WANT out of the new direction of the Democratic Party post DNC chair election

simply put.. what we stand for, what we are fighting for.. and how we plan to accomplish it with the information at hand

And everyone can either join in or not.. Take a look at our platform.. that is who we are

We are who we are, and we stand for what we stand for..

The DNC Chair is an organizational position. The chair oversees the creation of the platform, but its content will be influenced by the next presidential primary. The chair doesn't determine what the party stands for. People vested a lot in this fight over the chair with little understanding of what the position actually entails.

whatever resources the DNC has, and speaks for the party on television. I'm hoping Ellison helps out a lot with that second one.
