    You cannot fight the system that allowed this to happen from within.

    They will inevitably need to leave the party in order to put their support behind real resistance.

      Agreed. And now is the time to try that. The Democrat party is infused with corruption and incompetence. From Schumer’s spinelessness, to Fetterman’s and Newsom’s profound lack of integrity.

      There needs to be a genuine grassroots movement with real momentum to push back hard against the insanity of the Republicans.

      You’re never going to convince the 30% of Americans that self identify as Democrats to change. Same for the 30% of Republicans.

      You either use the Dems as a tool, or you split the party and fail. Look at the tea party for an example.
