I don't understand the DNC, either, really, but I don't understand the RNC more.
For non-Americans: "DNC" is the "Democratic National Committee", and the "RNC" is the "Republican National Committee". They're the major fundraising organizations for the political parties. So I get the mailings in which each team asks me for money.
The Republican National Committee is selling "I Miss W" t-shirts. And they keep talking about how Obama is the most imperialistic President ever.
Doesn't this just show the disconnect in the United States? To me, I can't imagine ANYBODY, liberal OR conservative, missing W. And I'd assume that, if Obama was a power-grabbing imperialist, he would have been able to, y'know, do SOMETHING during his terms. They're assuming a worldview that I just don't have the background to comprehend.
The DNC isn't that much better, but it's at least a bit more comprehensible to me, because I'm more familiar with the sorts of things they're talking about. I don't even hear the RNC talking points anywhere, so their stuff is just baffling. I have no clue what they're talking about.
