Agree. But with caveat that change is slow. I think I know someone who is going to try to shake things up a bit at this year's conference, tho.
Change starts in the constituency, and there's so much complacency (cluelessness?) the needle skips up a beat, then back down and everyone says job well done.
Added to this, the current leadership is so suspect anything they bring to the table is undermined. It's been said before, but Ivy needs to step aside so someone else can come in with a clear and consistent vision- that can be compromised later.
Marc, agreed. This won't let them off the hook with the membership, it may however hasten the defection of the shithead conservative Trumper Architects.
