    I don’t know why we keep having to have this talk about why reformism doesn’t work. Rosa Luxembourg addressed this pretty well.

    We aren’t likely to get Reformations, the problems with the Democratic party are baked directly in to the institution.

    Anything offered as Reformation is a token to ensure that the masses don’t revolt at least until the Reformation can be clawrd back by the powers that be.

      Want to watch the Democrat party change?

      Start primarying left and right.

      It’ll change.

      We’ve watched conservative voters change the Republican party to the traitor party they are today in less than 2 decades. It’s completely possible.

        The Democrat Elites thought of that which is why they use super delegates which ensure that a candidate cannot be too radical.

        Not only that the situation surrounding both parties is entirely different. People saw Donald Trump initially as a harmless moron. People in the DNC see radicals and progressives as an enemy to be contained
