Sure, but they don’t have any real power, as evidence by DNC policy favoring the capitalist class over the workers literally every single time.
Note that they’re not asking what we could have done differently over the last 4 years, they’re asking how they should have messaged differently.
Schumer accusing Trump of defunding the police should tell you all you need to know about what anyone capable of influencing the party wants the party to be.
The DNC has very limited power compared with elected officials; they fundraise, support campaigns, set rules for primaries, and set rules for the convention delegates to agree on a party platform. They have no votes in Congress.
What can pass in Congress is determined by the last marginal vote needed to hit either a 50-vote or 60-vote threshold, so it tends to be determined by what’s ok with the most right-wing Democrat. Which is why you see the kind of policies we’ve seen.
In the current situation, the main power of the DNC is the ability to make noise. And they need to be doing that as much as possible.
