Meehan claims a key finding of his investigation is that the “country club” GOP leadership checks the power of the party’s noisy MAGA wing, in part, by keeping an estimated 100 to 200 committee seats empty, of some 600 seats available.
Without those seats filled, the required two-thirds quorum can’t be attained, and the by-laws the party has used since 1972 stay in place.
The empty positions, Meehan said, are disproportionately located in Falls and Bristol townships. That’s crucial, he said, since Lower Bucks, while heavily Democratic, is Ground Zero for the middle- and working-class men who voted for former President Donald Trump who rode “America First” into the White House in 2016.
“If Pat Poprik and the establishment up there had a hundred new committee people from down here who want to run America First candidates, it’s a threat to their power,” Meehan said.
Meehan said his analysis of the county GOP by-laws, in place since 1972, reveals a system that concentrates power in the party chair. The chair is kept there in office by friendlies on the Republican executive committee. Meanwhile, the party’s foot soldiers, the committee people elected by rank-and-file Republicans, are treated as the hired help.
“They tell the them go knock on doors, put up yard signs, work the polls, and we don’t want to hear from you after that,” he said.

That’s because political parties are like any other corporation. They operate and function for their own benefit. First and foremost of their priorities is to maintain power at any and all costs. As a party member your only benefit to the party is that you donate money and vote the way they tell you.
The only difference between political parties in the USA and the CCP is that they can’t kill you at will and harvest your organs on a whim.
Oops, wrong pronoun!

You’re right. Pat’s a she.
