What Does the Democratic Party Stand for Now? Good Question.
By Emmett Rensin
July 29, 2016

I spent the past week in Philadelphia, in the halls and in the stadium of the Wells Fargo Center, for nearly every hour of the Democratic National Convention. I heard more than a hundred speakers, and spoke to dozens of people in the halls. After four days, I am not certain that I know what, precisely, the Democratic Party wants to be.

For the past two days, I put this question specifically to delegates and staffers, to the people who ought to know: “What, at core, is the Democratic message coming out of this convention?”

I got no shortage of answers.

@rangerrebew, is there a link for this?  I'm curious as to what they do think their party stands for.

At this point I haven't got a clue what either party stands for aside from keeping their own power.
