22. Only if enough people want it to change, so yes it could be reformable, but since it is the People
who must create party reform and the People are motivated by Issues, Issues should take precedence over Party. Only when enough people see a way possible to do something about an Issue that affects them, will there be enough People involved to reform the party that will serve the Issue. Until then, the party will continue to be the social club that it is for those who orbit policy makers who support acceptable issues only. So, the status-quo Democratic Party is not reformable, largely because not enough people are involved and people aren't involved because they don't see the party serving their issues.
