    We’ve been trying that for decades and the DNC keeps passing rules to stop it.

    Just a few months ago they cancelled NH’ primary for something state republicans can control.

    The last two primaries NH has went progressive btw, which is likely the reason for the whole shit show.

    The DNC is openly agonistic against progressives, and there’s no logical reason to think they’ll change

    Hell, most moderates even want money out of politics. Biden and the DNC pulled some shady shit and now an individual can give way over half a million and the DNC is essentially a PAC that can cooperate with the candidate as much as they want.

    Moderates have no problem compromising with Republicans, but they won’t with progressives because “who are you going to vote for”.

    If there’s an option, maybe they’ll start listening to their voters. Maybe they’ll be replaced.

    But what we’ve spent 30 years doing hasn’t been working.

      And yet, AOC walked into one of the Democratic Party’s strongholds and managed to get elected over one of the strongest members.

      Their in the business of getting elected. Get the votes out and the leadership will follow.
