    Ehhh even with the shit they pulled on Bernie I still think reorienting the party is the right strategy.

    The Democratic Party has been pulled from a segregationist position to the champions of civil rights in Congress once before, they’ve also been pulled away from business interests before.

    So I think it’s definitely possible to grow a socialist wing inside the Democratic party, I mean we’ve ready seen better gains in the past decade in Congress than in the past century of third parties trying to gain a foothold.

      I don’t know how far anything in the Democratic party is going to fly now that it has bankrolling and supporting a genocide under its belt. Any chance they had to prove they aren’t just corporate warmongers has been shredded. They’re going to be a hard sell for the new generation unless they can do some magic.
