People should be allowed to exist

Social programs aren't communism

The system isn't working for the people

Edit:

I've changed my mind on this.

Let the DNC go full MAGA and when they lose, because they will lose, they get the heat and we can eject them forever. At least sit them in a corner.

Progressives, you fight if you want but I don't believe the elections will be fair so it's a win win for you.

How influential are these moderates at this point? If the DNC leadership is still paying attention to them, they are pants on head retarded.

Leftwing people don't fucking vote in primaries. People don't vote third party enough for it to act as anything but a spoiler benefiting fascists. Realistically the US military would turn people into a bloody paste if we attempted to rebel.

And now we might not even get elections in the future because we have authoritarians in charge ripping the functions and institutions of the government itself to shreds. Like... we are so fucking screwed.

They're influential because the big donors like this stuff, it's the kind of changes that don't impact them and push away more left leaning policies that would hurt them. One of the points is literally ignoring small donors which is what average people are.
