The corporatist wing of the Democratic Party is functionally the entirety of the Democratic Party. Pretending otherwise is just wasting time and doing branding work for the people we have to beat to change anything.
The bulk of the Republican Party today represents a nosedive for our democracy; the corporatist wing of the Democratic Party represents a managed decline. The people of the US are ready to move on, to break with the past, and reclaim the core values that both used to represent.

Yes it is, 83% of leadership voted to increase corruption in October. A super majority, when you say "there are some good Democrats." You are implying an unreformable indemecially corrupt institution is reformable, that's a waste of time and money. readsludge.com/2021/10/08/ha…

That's the point. The *leadership* needs to change. The only hope is to elect more progressives. That, or just endlessly whine:)

You can't change leadership, you can only be subsumed. And I'm not whining, I just disagree with your tactics of funneling more money, more time, and more young people into a party that is hostile to all of our goals. Building the Greens is uphill, but not a waste of resources.

I think they're both legitimate choices. And sometimes it's not either/or. Every person has to listen to their own gut on this.
