Re-read; I wasn't commenting on the substance of the Democratic platform but the fact that a defined platform exists, and you have to subscribe to it to become the Democratic candidate. Both sides have dogma that must be unfailingly adhered to. You can't get the nomination as a pro-life, pro-2nd-amendment Democrat. See also: Keystone XL pipeline.
