I think it’s possible to put together an online version of the Democratic Party, something that never goes away, is available to rally the electorate at any moment.#
That’s the way to neutralize the power of the media moguls who have us wrapped around their fingers.#
Does the Democratic Party think clearly enough about how politics and democracy work do build and operate this kind of ongoing participatory operation? Or would voters have to model the thing for them? I don’t know.#
And does the Democratic Party endlessly repeat the 2008/9 mistake of turning off the innovative Obama campaign participation website and essentially telling their voters, “Hey, relax, now that we’re back in Washington we’ve got this. You can tune out now. This is an insider’s game.”#
That is a character flaw of the Democratic Party, for sure. The Party needs counseling.#
PS. Who built that Obama website, by the way? Somebody should interview the creators about what it offered and how it worked.#
