I have been a delegate to 6 National Democratic conventions and 24 state conventions.
I can report that rank and file registered Democrats and most candidates neither care nor know what is in The party platform. They support candidates for office NOT a platform that is not read my the rank and file.
Frankly, as a Democrat I don’t care what Tepublicans think of the language in our party’s plata d I pay no attention to the language in their platform.
The US has two nationwide parties that are quite diverse, no one is a card carrying member as people are in other countries. There are no national newspapers that are the voice of a party.
Because I vote candidate and not party, I have split my ticket in more than 45 of the past 50 years.
