All leadership being deferred to a national party is the problem. You cannot fix the DNC when it’s existence is largely the problem. No National parties should really exist for more than 6 months every 4 years. Just long enough to coalesce behind the candidate the people voted for and help promote them through the general election. Then disband. Just as the House and Senate really wasn’t supposed to exist for more than a few months a year. Outside planting and harvesting times. So as not too monopolize people’s livelihoods.
Bad presidential candidates, oligarch control, and many of our other National political issues are symptoms of this. When so much power is left idling in the hands of so few highly unaccountable individuals. They won’t resist using it for themselves. As is evident.
