This is I think one of the biggest reasons the dems are so useless as a party. It's not a party, it's a vehicle for individuals to advance themselves. At best, it's a brand.

There's no cohesive goals you can say the dems support. There's no room for one person to make a move that's risky and know the rest will have their back. It's all about individual careers.

Part of this sickness is how obsessed the strategists are with celebrity endorsements. I don't care if Charlie XCX likes kamala and I doubt many of her fans do either. A few weeks ago they were talking about a blitz primary hosted by Taylor swift. First of all why would swift do that, and second off why would people want that?

They don't treat the party as about trying to advance a political agenda, or their voters as people who have political desires. It's just brand management.
