I have been a member of the Democratic Party and the DNC for DECADES.

However, I never fully involved myself with volunteering etc. Mostly concentrated on individual candidates/elections. Yesterday I went to a Democratic Caucus where new state delegates were elected.

The persons who held positions prior stepped aside and let others run.

They allowed me to run, I did not win.. lost by 1 vote, haha.

We had 4 brand spanking new delegates, 2 men, 2 woman. The town chair gets one no matter what. 1 other delegate, man or woman was elected. And 4 BRAND SPANKING NEW ALTERNATES were elected as well.

Let me tell you, if liberal entrenched elites are running the show keeping the little man out, they are doing one hell of a piss poor job of it!
