The most important ingredient in the successes of political parties is multiparty democracy, pluralism, engagement, and adherence to respect not only the establishment, institutions, or party policies, but also the ideologies, policies, processes, procedures, and tenets upon which it is built, making it structurally a viable entity.
In short, party executive membership and ordinary membership are two distinct things, where executives are entrusted to run the affairs of a certain political party, like drivers guiding it in the right direction. Ordinary membership, on the other hand, lies in obedience to everything that constitutes a party, showcasing participation, sometimes disagreement, and constructive criticism, but not rendering the party ungovernable or unable to reach its destination. Each of these myths could be a subset of the other, but with careful consideration, tactfulness, and reasoning.
Therefore, “Correlation does not imply causation” means that observing a connection between two variables doesn’t necessarily mean one causes the other. Correlation simply indicates a relationship, but causation implies that a change in one variable directly causes a change in the other. For example, while ice cream consumption and drowning incidents are statistically correlated, eating ice cream doesn’t cause drowning.
Also, as democrats, anytime one feels not politically viable in any group, they should be able to unsubscribe to such a party or group ideals professionally without causing it to disintegrate into pieces, because leaving would not cease its operation, since there’s always continuity, even in the event of death.
However, the viability of a party is contingent upon harnessing the expertise and skillsets of every genuine member of the party, aligning their intellects, minds, resources, and unwavering loyalties to get to the end of the promise land together or dropping some of the deplorables along the way to get to the said destination.
This might not be the initial strategic plan, but a necessary probable formula to restore calm, the good image of the party and great works of many that put their lives on the line to get this formidable party called the United Democratic Party where it is today.
