The dems can not get out of their own way. See Zohran win in NYC.

So vote to expand the progressive side of the dem party

You mean to say our votes can override an organization that argued in court that since its a private service they could just ignore the vote of the people and pick who they wanted?

The same organization that always manages to organize and attack leftist like Zohran and Bernie but can't find any footing against Trump?

Yep. That will work. Just gotta vote harder.

Correct, so show up. We need to vote, and we need to protest.

I really really don't think that will change anything. People been trying to change the democrats for the better part of ten years.

Name one landmark foundational thing they have done in the last ten years thats really benefited the majority of Americans.

There isn't one that isn't a major concession that undercuts the original proposal.

You're right and part of that is people like you not showing up. None voting has had the most votes in all those elections.

I am under no illusions that even if and it's a big if the Democrats managed to take back enough seats in both the house and the Senate to actually impeach and prosecute Trump that they still won't do it that they will be spineless and that they will offer supposed Olive branches across the aisle.

We had one guy win a primary in a mayoral race. You guys are acting as if this changes everything. It's interesting to watch for sure and there are lessons to be learned but that does not mean that everything is changing. It's not even guaranteed he'll win the Mayoral race. The DNC is even considering not giving him the nomination despite him winning.

The billionaire class is already mobilizing to try and ensure this guy never gets elected. Do you think they're going to make it any easier when he's in office?

By all means we should engage in electoral politics but we should not be under any illusions that it will fix the system we have nor should we be under any illusion that our politicians will save us from the problem that is Donald Trump. If anything the Democrats seem more than happy to capitulate to what he wants since they're not in the majority.
