4. That Big tent will have a seat at the table when brainstorming,

Everyone involved gets 1 vote and the majority prevails. When Project 2029 is drawn up then Democrats speak with one voice, then Democrats become united.

I have seen articles that caused me to write about this, the articles stated that Democrats can be our own worst enemy.

Case in point, what Chuck Schumer did in March 2025. The vast majority of Congressional Democrats were united to take a stand and vote NO to the CR but a handful of Senators nullified the will of the majority.

I understand that politics is local, and I agree, each candidate can have his/her agenda that best suits his/her constituents.
I am talking about issues that effect all of us all across the country. I am a proud union member, a local official for 26 years, reelected every 3 years, and we have many slogans that are based on UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL. Not every union member agreed with our Local Union decision but we took a vote and my vote counted 1 vote just like every other union member's vote. When the vote was taken debate ended.

There needs to be a cross section of people who sit at the table to create Project 2029, it won't just be DNC officials or big wig officials, the DNC will be included and have 1 vote. I was just a maintenance worker and a union official when I participated in cutting costs for our factory. We met 1 day a week and the rest of the week I got input from my fellow "unwashed" workers. The Democratic Party gets input from their constituents, let's make them a part in decision making.
