    The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is the principal executive leadership board of the United States Democratic Party. According to the party charter, it has “general responsibility for the affairs of the Democratic Party between National Conventions”,[1] and particularly coordinates strategy to support Democratic Party candidates throughout the country for local, state, and national office, as well as works to establish a “party brand” and to formulate the party platform.

      [“A closed-door meeting for House Democrats…”]

      What part of “House Democrats” do you NOT understand? Nowhere in the article is “DNC” mentioned.

      particularly coordinates strategy to support Democratic Party candidates

      Do you not understand what “candidates” mean? All of the people involved here were elected congressmen – NOT “candidates”. There is no reason whatsoever an elected member of congress would give a shit what “the DNC” thinks unless they are in an ongoing election with a very close race and cannot raise enough money on their own.

        Let’s go slowly so you can follow my thought process.

        1. They are members of the Democratic Party. You cannot dispute that.

        2. The Democratic Party is a political organization.

        3. The DNC is the leadership of the Democratic Party.

        4. I am dissatisfied with the DNC’s handling of the party.

        5. These Democrats in the article doing as they please and, as you said, don’t care about what the DNC thinks is the exact symptom of the exact problem I’m talking about.

        Are you familiar with the phrase it starts at the top? Maybe if the party exhibited stronger leadership and more unity, you wouldn’t have factions running amok with no unified front.

        Do you remember how unified the Republican Party was when Obama was elected? That’s a unified front.
