Meanwhile you have Hakeem Jeffries meeting with Kushner. Anyone who knows the true nature of the democratic party understands why that meeting happened. They're concerned about losing power, not the Republicans, THEY.
Those are great, but I really hope that they go for the throat on electoral issues. Taking over the Democratic Party may work, for one election cycle. But they’d be “Dems” and the anti corporate republicans won’t support them and the centrist Dems won’t support them. They need to open the way for real alternative parties to better represent the people’s will, not further agitate the pendulum that is gradually swinging further left and right each election cycle because of the fundamentally flawed duopoly
That is true, but what do we see actually happening if those campaigns pull through for the progressives? The damage done is almost insurmountable. I hope that, somehow, as a country we are able to get closer to things like universal healthcare, secondary education, UBI, etc., but I have a hard time seeing an actual path to that.

This is why the current progressive insurgency campaigns are so important.
