      The DNC has shown time and again they will do nothing to roll back republican actions. Their ratchet effect doesnt allow for it. California has a bulletproof democrat supermajority and they cant get progressive legislation passed either, why should anyone believe more democrats at the federal level would be any different?

        So your plan for change is to do nothing and hope, or worse, keep Republicans in power so that they can actively make things worse. Sure.

          It’s not me that’s forcing the DNC to utilize their ratchet effect to prevent Republican actions from ever slipping back. They are the ones that are allowing it to keep getting worse.

          Your plan of change is to do nothing and yell at anyone who wants to do anything.

      The former is plausible but the latter’s not happening any time soon. If major structural change of that sort occurs, I will happily eat my shoe. Agreed, otherwise

      Simple, step one is regaining control of Congress this November.

      We’ll see if that happens or if the party keeps doing everything it can to sabotage progressive candidates.
