There is no fairly permanent "Democratic Policy Institute" like the GOP has with its Hoover Institute (which sucks)
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219825280#!

Main reason being that former party leaders have not formed a united front against the well-organized and funded GOP hate and lie machine, with massive media ownership.

The leaders club should stand above primary battles, allowing young people to express a diversity of opinion that is in addition to the party foundation, so they aren't asked to "cover all the bases".

Maybe consider their silence this way... it's not as if our leaders haven't used this strategy before. ancianita Jan 29 #14

There are press conferences, there are videos of them standing up to the GOP on the floor Lulu KC Jan 29 #16

James is a democrat JI7 Jan 29 #22
