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.
