The only part of this that worries me is the clause calling for the right of local chapters to publicly criticize higher bodies, key word there being "publicly."

Like the NPC dissolving the BDS working group is anti-Palestine, anti-internationalist clownshoes shit, and all the committee members who voted for it deserve to be out on their asses. But to have anything approaching a DemCent structure, there needs to be a level of public-facing unity of message. Can't have that if every chapter is allowed to dunk on leadership on twitter for the world to see, with no repurcussions. Look how liberal opportunists are already pouncing on this to further the division. There needs to be structures put in place to allow for internal debate and criticism that isn't fucking corporate social media.

I signed for the sake of getting the DBS working group back, but this incident ought to open up a broader discussion about message discipline and the organization's structure writ large.
