    I do understand that the DNC has complete control. We’ve seen many example of that, the most egregious being Bernie vs Clinton.

    US society is fundamentally to the right and the DNC will keep it that way.

    That creates an issue where changing the Democrat Party will take a long long time. So the better option would be a real left party, but that would mean that Republicans would be in power for a while, until the politcal landscape changes and stabilise with 3 parties. And that’s not accounting for the DNC that will work against the newly formed party.

    Denying that the DNC is neo-liberal to its core is deliberate ignorance.

    Any prominent member that has an ounce of progressism has to fight the DNC at every corner to get through, like we’ve seen Mamdani.

    Meanwhile, progressives should definitely vote for the Democrats. But this is a different issue. The vote turnout is terrible in North America (we have the same problem in Canada).
