Never gonna happen. None of the Democratic hierarchy would ever give up one drop of their power. Or, as Smaug would say...

So, why be a Democrat? (I got asked that recently.) Because there is way more chance of changing those 'risk-averse strategies' and implement more 'good ideas' with them than with a party that prefers serfs to citizens.

I am more committed to trying to get David Hogg the VC position. That would be a great offset to the 'seasoned' leaders we have now. He may not be able to handle the 'courtier' action at that level of political power, but I would love to give him the chance.

Dynasties are my concern as well. As someone who is very into term limits to stop this entrenched political warfare, I really do not like it when an election turns out to be a family affair (meaning that family members 'piggyback' a government position due to their relation to someone who is also there). That is where grift and social negligence due to greed comes from. It corrupts the process that we agreed to do, mainly that this is supposed to be a country of, by and for the people. They became lazy. Once special interests took over, we lost that representation. But, there is one inescapable thing.

Time stops for no mortal. No exceptions. If we start making inroads into the hierarchy, we can make changes sooner. Waiting has its own problems, so just waiting for change to magically appear may be a mistake. Better to start now. Sadly, baby steps are what seems to work right now.
