That’s not really how it works…

Party leadership is decided by an open vote of about 450 people/organizations.

Some is elected officials like president, senator, and a shit ton of mayors. Some political organizations, ex Members, random ass people who are usually donors

But it’s an open vote, and the people running usually cutthroat.

So if you don’t toe the party line, the party might not support you later.

That’s when they do get to vote. There was like 30 years where no vote was held, people were just appointed.

The system is way more fucked up than most people realize. And it’s designed to hold onto all their power while presenting the illusion of democracy
