Yeah, not listening to this defeatist garbage. The Democratic party has been changed before. It will be changed again. The party is not defined by some monolithic ideology. We need massive electoral reform in the US to ensure elections are actually fair. First past the post is problematic. House and Senate functions are problematic. We need a solution to the two party problem, but until then, our vehicle is the Democratic party. Best to make it do what we want it to rather than just give up because "they're corporatists".
Defeatism is thinking the only option you have is playing by the rules the bourgeoisie instated, not "stop believing in a corrupt party"
Unlike you, we believe in multiple options. We're trying to move the Dems to the left AND pushing for electoral reform AND planning an armed communist revolution.
And you're just whining
