    The diagnosis includes underfunded state parties and Democratic declines in voter registration. The report also stated that a “persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters has provided the other major party with opportunities for advancement at the expense of Democratic growth, evolution, and ability to find common ground with seemingly disparate groups of voters from coast to coast, and the heartland Democrats tend to ignore.”

    The report also criticizes Democrats for relying too heavily on Republicans to “nominate deeply flawed candidates,” adding that “regaining trust and confidence in the party” and giving voters an “affirmative reason to support Democrats” will “take a comprehensive strategy and considerable effort over multiple cycles.”

    Shocked! I’m shocked, I tell you!

        I think this is one of the things they’re actually implementing by sending money down to the state parties. It’s more of an allocation of money thing than a not enough money thing. Though now the DNC is reportedly not raising very much money, so it’ll probably become a not enough money thing.

      Wait, they’re saying that they need to be more queerphobic and racist and biblehumpy with that whole “not reaching out to certain groups of voters” thing?

      I don’t even know who they are referring to! What a useless fucking document, I guess they were right that there was nothing to see.
