29. I'm not saying it is easy.

The current party organization is set up to prevent exactly that. I'm just saying it is possible. We do have a mechanism, in the Democratic Party primary process, a reform we won in 1968 against the will of the party hacks. Most political reforms were won against the will of the party hacks, and there are plenty in the history of the US. We just need to start using them for our own purposes, and stop letting them be used against us.

You are quite civil, I have no problem with you. I just don't see why you would want to discourage attempts at democratic reform.
