Thank you for offering more context to help folk understand things are improving. I don’t mean to sound doom and gloom. It’s great to hear things are getting better.

Yep, and they must be forced to change, as they will fight anything that threatens the donor class that keeps them fat and happy.

The only way to defeat the DNC is from within... by dragging the party to where it must be... in the same way MAGA reshaped the Rs and wrest control from Bush-era neo-cons like Romney and McConnell.

Primary the DNC's 3rd way neoliberals at every level and chance you get (i.e. AOC, Rashida Talib, Zohran Mamdani, etc.), boost the good candidates on social media and at the same time try to teach others how to think critically so they don't just slop up and regurgitate whatever narratives the consent-manufacturing billionaire-owned networks push out.

...but they won’t work against a specific candidate either.

Absolutely demonstrably untrue.

They will definitely work against specific candidates.

They will change rules and ask super-delegates to ignore voters and choose their preferred candidate, the news networks most closely aligned with the DNC's goals will literally put a camera in front of an empty mic stand for 40 mins rather than show the candidate they don't want. They will compare that candidate winning states during the primary literally to Hitler saying it's like "the fall of Paris" or compare the supporters of the guy whose own extended family was murdered in the Holocaust to "brownshirts.".

They will support anti-choice Ds over progressives in primaries while claiming neutrality.

The DNC isn't representative of its constituents. They are the rich's secondary defense against "the left" (meaning anything even slightly to the left of 1990s Clinton policies).
