      That’s great, but the DNC the only group that can do anything meaningful in the context of our national politics, and how that evolves in the long term.

      I’m not being pessimistic because I’m just trying to be a dick. I’m being pessimistic because the DNC has let me and hundreds of millions of others down repeatedly and systematically with their limpdick bullshit even if you only consider the past 7-8 years. I’m still voting for them because they’re the only major party that’s, you know, not overtly fascist, but I’ve got no illusions about how (in)effective they’ll be.

              I’m starting to think you don’t understand that the national level DNC implicitly, yet effectively, sets party policy when the Democratic leadership and senior elected politicians support (or don’t support) specific candidates.

              The DNC has successfully spiked more than a few progressive campaigns in favor of centrist neoliberal candidates that are much more corporate friendly… and big-ticket democratic donors put their money towards those corporate candidates. Remember “it’s her turn”? I sure as fuck do. It was as stupid then as it is now.
