    They are the establishment. Why would they ever change? They would rather Trump win, than their easy paychecks be disrupted. You are never going to get a democrat to care about people.

      It would be easier for progressives to take over the DNC and state Dems than to form an entirely new party and make it viable.

        If that’s the case, then it’s never going to happen, because the democrats are never going to let it happen, so you’re basically saying stop voting or caring about anything and just lay down and die.

        There is no future for the democratic party. This election convinced me that they are never going to care about anyone but their donors, and next election I won’t be voting for them. I’ve voted for the candidate they shoved down our throats to defeat Trump three times now, and most of the time they’ve fucked it up. No more “lesser evil” crap. I’m not voting for evil again, period.

          The strategy you are describing makes minorities the cost of doing business. Instead of attempting to achieve moral victory over Democrats consider voting for Democrats in elections to leverage power for the people Republicans want to hurt and kill.
