    That’s what primaries are for. I agree the system isn’t perfect but so many people ignore the primaries then wonder why their party never changes. Again. That’s what primaries are for.

      “Rely on the primaries” - people who love that the party opposes progressives in primaries harder than it opposes Republicans in any context.

        Just to expand a bit on what your already said, those arguments conveniently ignore the DNC et al fight hard against the left, outspending any progressivess who attempt to unseat the right-leaning Dems. Then with their center-right party safely entrenched they tut-tut at us wanting the Dems to help the working class, describing the tilted table they’ve set up as “a big tent party”

        Yeah, it’s a big tent, and we aint in it
