    The Democrats are on deaths door as a party. And their only path to survival is to become a truly leftwing, socialist party. Anything less than that the neolibs will have handed the rudder back to fascism for a third time. And the fascist won’t be handing it back at that point.

    This is where the pain is. I have absolutely no faith whatsoever that they’ll ever do this. :/

      I’m curious besides Bernie, AOC and a few others…. What elected officials even want to do it.

        What elected officials

        That’s the point, you’re usually not given the chance to reach the point of being elected. Usually the DNC works against you if you’re not a neoliberal. Now supposedly this new chairperson will not tip the scales in primaries, but only time will tell if that is true.

      What do you mean? They’ve saved democracy from those filthy lefty progressives. And anointed their king Trump, just not as loud as Fetterman.
