Well, until we can get enough people to participate in the party organization for the people be able to control the politicians through the party structure, the politicians will control the party.
I agree. I often wonder how many of the thousands of people that come on this website regularly, and who are extremely opinionated (not a bad thing), actually do anything to help the party? How many actually walk a precinct or help out at a phone bank? How many put a sign in their yard, or a bumper sticker on their car? How many actually write a check to a candidate or to their state or county party? Just wondering.
