In the wreckage of Hillary Clinton’s unexpected loss, liberal lawmakers and advocacy groups have started plotting a major overhaul of the Democratic National Committee.
As a first step, I believe it necessary for the members and leadership of the Democratic National Committee to step down and be replaced by people who are determined to create a party that represents America -- including all those who feel powerless and disenfranchised, and who have been left out of our politics and left behind in our economy.
The Democratic Party has become a giant fundraising machine, too often reflecting the goals and values of the moneyed interests. This must change. The election of 2016 has repudiated it. We need a people's party that's ready and able to oppose Donald Trump's Republican party, which is about to take over the three branches of our government, and poses a threat to everything we believe in. We need a new Democratic Party capable of organizing and mobilizing Americans to fight intolerance and widening inequality.
"The Democratic party needs to be either decisively wrested from pro-corporate neoliberals, or it needs to be abandoned. From U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren to Nina Turner, to the Occupy Wall St. alumni who took the Bernie campaign supernova, there is a stronger field of coalition-inspiring progressive leaders out there than at any point in my lifetime."
