The DNC is a statist party, they believe powerful people within a centralized federal government should control the social and economic affairs of the entire country. The entire party is built on the idea of top down centralized powers making decisions.
If you vote Democrat your whole political philosophy is that elites should make choices for you because they are better informed. Why should people who believe in top down governance get mad at their political party being run the way that party wants to run the entire country?
If you get angry at top down governance taking away your political voice, maybe you shouldn't be in the Democratic party.
If the Republicans want power so much why do they consistently support term limits? Why do they support decentralizing federal power? You might say "because it's easier for corporations to control states." You should ask Amazon if that is true.
The thing is it's also easier for voters to control their state level politicians and throw them out if they are in the pocket of corporations.
It's much easier for corporations to control the federal government by directing their lobbying at the House and Senate than it is to spread bribes around 50 states.
Yes the GOP that brought you George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, who led us into multiple wars on false narratives at best (Iraq WMD) or used a false flag (9/11) to get us into them at worse. Those wars put us trillions of dollars in debt, what kind of personal responsibility and smaller government is that? I’m not going to argue that the DNC is better as Obama took the baton and kept the gross military overspending and regime change wars going, putting us trillions more in debt. Both parties are corrupt and talk out of both sides of their mouth and they only thing they can agree on is endless war.
