Democratic Party reforms focus on things that would’ve helped Bernie Sanders win

100% recycled karma
1.Get new leadership at the Democratic National Committee.
2.Approve "the most progressive platform ever passed" at the Democratic National Convention in July.
3.Enact "real electoral reform" within the Democratic Party.
4.Get rid of superdelegates.

Let's instead skip ahead to Sanders's "electoral reform" proposal, which included a number of sub-points.
•Same-day voter registration
•Enough staffing and training to allow people to vote in a timely fashion (pointing to the mess in Arizona)
•Make sure the votes get counted (pointing to a slow process in California)

And then there's this one, which we'll quote directly.
•"We need real electoral reform within the Democratic Party. And that means — among many, many other things — open primaries. The idea that in the state of New York, the great state of New York, 3 million people could not participate in helping to select who the Democratic or Republican candidate for president would be because they had registered as an independent not as a Democrat or a Republican is incomprehensible

the rest of the article is typical Hiilaryism of why change cannot happen ,and the Democratic Party cannot be democratic and inclusive..

Oddly the people's party ( or how I looked at the Dems when I was one) has become the stale stagnant party of entrenched special interests
and a sop to the DC establishment.

It's bloated and unresponsive and will continue that way - it's a python that swallows up all endeavors to rid it of corrupt corptocratic leadership.
It even swallowed up Sanders with worthless promises it would listen to his voters.
