The problem is that the whole thing has been hijacked to always be an endless ping pong match between two parties that ultimately benefit from the same things. It’s essentially varying shades of fascism. Bernie was made an example when the rug was pulled out from under him and he had to back Hillary of all people.
Ehhh even with the shit they pulled on Bernie I still think reorienting the party is the right strategy.
The Democratic Party has been pulled from a segregationist position to the champions of civil rights in Congress once before, they’ve also been pulled away from business interests before.
So I think it’s definitely possible to grow a socialist wing inside the Democratic party, I mean we’ve ready seen better gains in the past decade in Congress than in the past century of third parties trying to gain a foothold.
I don’t know how far anything in the Democratic party is going to fly now that it has bankrolling and supporting a genocide under its belt. Any chance they had to prove they aren’t just corporate warmongers has been shredded. They’re going to be a hard sell for the new generation unless they can do some magic.
