    A lot of that has to do with how the DNC is run based on seniority. With the Democrats they will only really let you near power/funding if you’ve done the time, and have proven that you can be a party player.

    The vetting process has its benefits, it cuts down on the cult of personality types that can destabilize the platform. However, it also tends to filter out anyone more progressive than the party leadership, and basically ensures that key leadership roles are filled with people who should have retired in the early 00s.
