This responsibility shall include, but not be limited to:

Nowhere in there does it say anything at all about bossing around Senators and congressmen. You just proved everything I told you to be true.

So when the party has a president there’s leadership, and when there’s no president, there are no leaders, amazing! Heisenberg’s leadership!

100% correct. There is no clear party leader when there is no president. The leaders of the House Democratic Caucus and Senate Democratic Caucus are each far more powerful than the DNC chairman. The House leader cannot boss the Senate leader. The Senate leader cannot boss the house leader. And neither of those 2 leaders cares the slightest shit what the chairman of the DNC thinks. Do you even know who that person is? Because I don't. He/She is not important enough for anybody to even know what their name is. Jeff Jeffries is the House Leader. Chuck Schumer is the Senate Leader. Nobody knows or gives a fuck who the DNC leader is.

Did you also think that the RNC is the head of the Republican Party? That's not the slightest bit true. Republicans aren't united because of "the RNC". The RNC is a joke. They are united because the billionaires control the entire party and calls the shots on everything they do.

So first you said they only handle primaries. Nowhere did I even see the word primary, but the list of responsibilities went far beyond handling elections. You ignored section D entirely, which I posit is a leadership role. You have no understanding that people can function as leaders and exhibit leadership skills regardless of official hierarchies, titles, and positions.

And finally, you are making my point for me. The party has laughable unity and leadership. If the DNC is responsible for the candidates that comprise the party, why shouldn't I blame them for building a headless party?
