Here’s the basic and fundamental function of the Democratic Party:” with an attached picture of a chart entitled “Function of the Democratic Party” which is a cycle made up of black text on blue bubbles with arrows pointing from one to the next in a clockwise direction. The chart begins with the bubble “Grassroots Left Mobilization Happens.” An arrow points to the next bubble which reads, “Mobilization Becomes a Threat to the Status Quo.” Then “Democrats find representatives of the most moderate elements, co-opt and hire them.” Then “Co-opted Leaders Use the Language of Popular Movement to Funnel Energy Back into the Electoral System.” Finally, the last bubble reads “Nothing Fundamentally Changes.” This last bubble points to the first bubble and the cycle continues.
