I think its time to start looking past democrats as possible agents of change. Justice delayed is justice denied, and the AIPAC centrists are firmly in control and not about to change anything. Rallying behind them just guarantees more loss, at the cost of enabling their corruption. Their base has already left to the point that they cant win anything. They have a 28% approval rating.

Democrats still have 23 governorships, control 37% of state legislatures, and 40% of state chambers. Six of the ten most populous states have 2 Democrat senators, three have Republican senators, and one is split. The house is split 219 Republican to 212 Democrat, but the Democrats represent a much larger portion of the population.

The point is, Democrats are far from being out of the game. Nobody else comes close to having a chance of beating Republicans in an election.

I see your logic, but I wonder if Dem leadership is willing to do the things for the common voters they will need to do to get the voters back on side so they can win. So far I havent seen a willingness or urgency to change much of anything. I just see the dems collaborating with republicans on most votes. To be fair the progressive wing is also withering a bit (seems to me, anyway-- what do I know).
