Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you believe nominating a centrist will only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee
Bernie Sanders is working behind the scenes to get a progressive in there but he can’t do it alone.
These people are truly idiots. I mean truly and deeply imbeciles. There’s no other word to describe them. How can they stand up and say the problem is the party politicked too hard on woke? Who did? Show me that campaign ad. I never saw it. The mere fact they are even saying that is why they cannot win. They’re incapable of victory. They have completely surrendered The Narrative to Republicans. They have completely and utterly allowed their opponents to frame them and accepted their opponents framing. There is simply no way to win if you do that. It’s simply moronic.
Kill this party. We have to. The only way forward is to blow up the Democratic party. This is our one chance. They’ve already dealt themselves such a blow we barely have to do anything. Don’t rally around a candidate. Leave. The worst thing that could happen has already happened. Now’s the one chance to smash it and start something new.
They aren’t idiots, they just know who signs their paychecks.
I think this is the right idea. Rather than having a single party that tries to represent everyone (from moderate never-Trumpers to progressives like Sanders to to far-left folks like Andrew Yang (UBI)), have separate parties and platforms for these very different folks.
But maybe keep the DNC as a kind of shell or umbrella - since these folks would need to unify on a candidate for President (to prevent splitting of votes leading to MAGA forever winning the presidency). I’m guessing each party (nevers, progressive party, UBI party, etc) would hold their own primary for a presidential candidate, then hold a “joint group primary” to pick just one to run in the general election.
