I get where you’re coming from, but I gotta say – – that is not the Democratic Party. In fact, they institutionally fight against such things.

What you’re describing is individual and independent progressive politicians – and that’s fucking awesome. It’s the future of the left in mainstream politics. And the Democratic Party can either adopt this philosophy, or be swept aside. Democrats, as voters, would widely benefit from more progressive policies, however, those who administer and run the DNC have been bought out by private interests and big money, so they no longer serve the people they continuously ensure their power simply because they think they will win by appeasing their billionaire donors by appealing to an imaginary and nonexistent “center”.

It’s time to shake shit up

It was time to shake shit up back in 2016 when they brought in DWS to ensure that no shaking could occur. I'm not holding my breath.
