minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-25 months agoWe have to face that loads of high ranking “moderate” Dems would prefer a Republican to a progressive. If a Republican gets in office, it makes it easier to get people vote lesser of two evils. If a progressive gets in office, it’s really hard to unseat them. They can barely manage to get House Reps out for moderates even with AIPAC money. If Bernie had won 2016, he’d have gotten to name the DNC chair, he could of solidly ended in the failed neo liberal experiment. We were really fucking close to fixing things, but after NH got their delegates stolen, I don’t think itll happen. I honestly think if a real progressive wins a presidential party primary, the standing party might disregard it.
