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.

No it's not. That's just erasing the efforts of very good progressive candidates. And there are many. seizethehouse.com/candidates

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…

DNC members say they were not allowed input on the nominees, who were put forward as a slate by Chair Jaime Harrison and will almost certainly be approved.

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.

Everytime you run as a Democrat you do branding work for people that are hostile to everything we want to achieve. Without Sanders, or the squad Democrats have no moral legitimacy. That's where the party belongs, not being propped up by the people it seeks to grind into dust.

But Bernie is there, and there are others like him. We just need *more* of them. One thing I'm not is naive about the shenanigans of the party. But I also know how many really good people are in there fighting the good fight every day. We shouldn't abandon the effort to get more.

We're losing ground, not gaining it. The current head of the Democratic party is a Podesta trained coal lobbyist. Bernie is a mensch, but he is demonstrably shit at strategy.
