3. The party is a whole apparatus

but the president or presidential nominee has tremendous power. Do our policies, platform, and ideology fluctuate too much? We get walloped when our ideas are distorted by the opposition. Wise elites in the party should be doing more to guide the long term best interests of the party. If they were going to force Biden out, they waited too long, and they could see the direction 6 months earlier. To grow our base and generate enthusiasm we embrace change, but then we're bludgeoned with those ideas in the general election.
