Naive indeed. Anyone who thinks that writing crap on a piece of paper is going to bind Hillary Clinton or the Democratic Party to do anything just hasn't been paying attention. In fact, the party platform has more often than not never more than a list of phony promises. It hasn't mattered much in American politics for over half a century. More than this, since the 1970s, we've had presidential candidates running for office on positions just the opposite of what their platform says. Nobody cared. Indeed, nobody's even notices that since the invention of the sound byte. I suppose you could argue that the platforms reflect something of what the base wants, but that's BS, too. Heck, I don't think even political scientists spend much time on platforms.
