The Democratic Party's proposed platform is calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn at least two Supreme Court decisions related to campaign finance, and another to ensure "equal rights."

They have a right to put anything in the platform they wish.
Platforms are rarely enacted.
The Republicans had support for the Bricker Amendment up to Nixon''s  first win. It would have forced a withdrawal from the UN.

When it is finalized, I will read it.

I like Bernie's proposals. I do not expect the US will withdraw from NAFTA.
Platforms are wishlists.
