The leadership is old as fuck. Most of them will be out soon enough, one way or another.

Let's apply your logic to another organization with exactly the same entrenched philosophical flaws and built in corruption - the US government. If you think the Democrats are impossible to crack, then why are you trying to fix the government?

Tbh, I don't think it can be reformed either lol. I think our Constitution and the procedures to change it are extremely broken and a new Constitution would need to be written for this state to have any hope. The founding fathers gave it a good try, but there were a lot of problems they couldn't foresee, they were one of the first democracies so they made a lot of mistakes. The state needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, same as apartheid South Africa and present day Israel.

But at least the US government can conceivably change out its whole leadership structure through democracy. The powers that control the Democratic party are not as such, they're a mix of powerful politicians, rich donors, staffers that have been there for decades, not just democratically elected people.
