In practice… not really. The DNC (as well as the DCCC, in the context of congressional races) has very overtly leaned on the scales for the last decade and a half or so. The (infuriatingly imbecilic, almost always corporatist neoliberal) political consultants they can’t seem to stop hiring as advisors - despite successfully snatching defeat from the jaws of victory multiple fucking times in EXTREMELY pivotal elections continue to give the party and its head honchos (read: the Democratic party’s status quo establishment) absolutely pants-on-head stupid regressive idiocy as campaign advice. It’s a direct result of effectively uncontrolled political donations (basically: if you set up the correct corporate and PAC structures and follow the correct forms and procedures, the limit on political donations is effectively unlimited for both individuals and corporations).
Officially, yes.
