Why do you believe Obama didn't overhaul the DNC from the top down? Do you believe it was simply because he didn't want to, he physically couldn't, or a combination? Marxists have been discussing the reform vs revolution question for centuries, and the conclusion is that reform has about the same chance as asking the boss of a megacorp you work at to give you the reigns. Technically non-zero, but so unlikely that effort must be put into revolutionary party building.

Reform may be the easiest solution to swallow, but is by far the least likely solution to actually enact change, tragically.
