    The DNC does have a choice, they are choosing to try to suppress leftism.

    The idea that this is all inevitable is some Hollywood levels of delusion.

      What’s delusional is thinking that leftism is an option in a country that is currently descending into fascism. A country that routinely stages coups in other countries that elect socialists. We can aim to push the line left with small steps, but we’ll be incredibly lucky if we even see decent welfare in our lifetimes. Be real with yourself.

      It’s frankly incredible to see a single mayor pushing socialist policies. That’s a huge win. Small steps like that are what we push for to boil this frog.

          And? What’s your point? A Democrat who accomplishes something is better for leftists than a True Leftist who does nothing but sit online all day. Material change, no matter how small, is infinitely better than impotent ideology.
