In the early 20th century, civic life was largely based on mass membership organizations that fostered community, relationships and local participation, paired with centralized coordination.
The decline of traditional civic structures due to mass communication led to a disconnection between the Democratic Party and local communities, impacting electoral outcomes.
A re-evaluation of the Democratic Party's civic structure is essential; improving how members relate to each other and their communities could drive better electoral results.
We need to enhance the flow of attention, resources, and decision-making power within the Democratic Party to foster local engagement and grassroots leadership.
