If the Democratic Party does not wish to do the right thing even after they have been begged to by some people, then I think it's time for us to consider punishing them and showing them, in action, you're going to lose the election. We're going to make sure you lose.
Minnesota has a lot of politicians willing to stand up to genociders, and agrees with the Dem voting base on a much wider range of issues.
Over the last six months, Minnesota Democrats enshrined abortion rights, established paid family and medical leave, restored the voting rights of ex-felons, extended voting access, invested $1 billion into affordable housing, imposed background checks on private gun transfers, initiated a red-flag warning system that confiscates firearms from those judicially deemed a threat to themselves or others, legalized recreational marijuana, created a refuge program for trans people denied gender-affirming care in other states, mandated that utilities go carbon-free by 2040, provided a refundable tax credit (i.e., cash aid) to low-income households with children, prohibited non-compete clauses in labor contracts, barred employers from holding compulsory anti-union meetings, strengthened workplace protections for meatpacking and Amazon workers, empowered teachers unions to bargain over educator-to-student ratios, empaneled a statewide board to set minimum labor standards for nursing-home workers, directed $2.58 billion into improved infrastructure, made school breakfast and lunch free from all Minnesota K-through-12 students, and increased taxes on corporations and high earners, among other things.

They were able to make it to the general because the Minnesota state Dem party didn't put their finger on the scales.
As of February the old chair for Minnesota is now the chair of the national DNC.
So...
Keep pressuring the DNC, but for fucks sake I wish people understood we already fought the battles and won the war over the party.
A neutral DNC that won't pick sides means no one will be holding progressives back.
We don't need to be yelling at the DNC right now we need to be informing voter that shit has changed already.
