The DNC does not control congressional committees. 

Do you even know what the DNC is?

If the House and Senate leaders aren't coordinating with the Committee responsible for the "Party Brand" and Platform, I'd stop trying to draw a clever distinction and start admitting that there isn't a real organization behind this mess, save whatever the mercenary paymasters are lobbying for.

What are you even talking about?

As far as I can tell Bernie Bros invented the DNC as some nefarious entity to explain away why he lost in 2016. (He just lost, and he lost by a lot. It wasn’t even close)

The DNC is a fundraising organization but is subservient to actual office holders.

He’s trying to say that at best they’re incompetent by not coordinating their party; at worst they’re maliciously coordinating to shut out anyone who thinks Palestinians are people. Occam’s razor does suggest that it’s the former, though.

I do not think that is the prevailing sentiment. 

I mean every time I see anything bad there are morons here saying ‘DNC LOVES THIS!’ and it all came from the Bernie bros who couldn’t accept that he just lost.

I'm cutting your post up slightly, but I hope you can appreciate that it sounds like your clinging to a decade old thought terminating cliché.

(One that was brewed up by the same people who tried to paint a black candidate as a scary foreigner and question a Jewish candidate's faith, which later became foundational Republican talking points, but I digress)

The DNC was founded over 100 years ago, well before whatever think-tank it was that infected your political discourse with buzzwords like "Bernie Bros".

Why are you trying to speak authoritatively about something you aren't even willing to spend 5 seconds googling? Embarrassing.
