I wonder of DNC will stick hard to this and nominate Clinton in next election as well.
Usually loosing political parties change their stance a wee bit to pander to wider demographics next time. Because politicians are, well, representatives. So far it looks like DNC thinks they're correct and people are wrong.

So far it looks like DNC thinks they're correct and people are wrong. While hardcore members of the progressive faction (myself included) don't think it's as much as they should have, the DNC has made major moves to accommodate that faction, in the areas of policy stances, DNC personnel, and internal DNC administration and nomination process. It's been the single most significant change in a major party after an election defeat since, probably, the 1970s.
- mantas 9y agoGood to hear. I guess it hasn't bubbled up in media enough. Fingers crossed next time the candidate will be better. I hope continuing pursuit of "email hacking" and other election-time stories is more of a media thing than DNC itself. And that DNC will manage to change media coverage from that to their next offering to the nation.
