It kinda seems like immigrants and anti-war protesters made it to the top of the list this time.

Have you actually tried to do this?

Personally, I’ve tried to reform the democratic party from the inside for the last 20 years, and I’ve given up, I think it’s a foolheardy endeavor.

Corporate interests are thoroughly entrenched in the party at every level. The democratic party has set up so many structural hurdles that make it nearly impossible for a progressive challenger to have a shot.

Take a small example: when I was volunteering for two different local progressive challengers, they both had extreme difficulty doing basic campaign things like printing flyers, road signs, pamphlets etc. Why? Because the Democratic Party has a explicit policy of blacklisting any vendor who aids a progressive challenger. No print shop would print our flyers.

There are so many structural hurdles like this set up by the Democratic Party, I would encourage you to volunteer and find out how bad it is for yourself.

And how do you propose we wrest control of the Democratic Party from its corporate overlords and put the power in the hands of the working class?

Seems about as farfetched as a new party imo, but I’d love to hear a realistic plan.
