    There’s simply no way to do it without outright ousting the current leadership out of the party entirely, which is effectively ending it in all but name only.

      The problem is, the “democratic party” barely exists as an organization. It’s a brand, a fundraising network, and a small informal network of insiders. None of which are possible or useful to “take over”

        Yeah it’s become a party machine but with only the corrupted leadership elements, with the ward captains that have deep connections to their neighborhoods and ensuring everyone gets a turkey at Thanksgiving aspects removed. It really is just the brand and the baked-in “blue no matter who” voters that have any use.
