    100%, that should be more obvious to a growing number of center-leftist types who always vote dem “because the system forces you to”.

    the DSA seems to be the only smart ones in the room, take over Dem seats silently until you have the majority necessary to force out all leadership at local/state level. once you have control of the pocketbook you have control of the party.

    because the majority of US politicians are only in it for the money…you don’t need to grab all the seats or even a strong majority, you just need to have more seats than the other group actually acting on principles. the ones in it for the money/status will side with whoever they think can get them another reelection
