    Well actually the party is composed of many different people, a variety of backgrounds, and many of them don’t want a Joe Rogan of the left because they know that it’s just b*******. But it’s a cute idea to pretend that they do.

      I think it’s clear “the party” here is referring to top party leadership. When people say “Washington holds negotiations with Moscow”, do you object that, in fact, very few citizens of either city were involved?
