    I love how these conversations happen many times every session, but then campaign time comes and everyone calls me a Russian asset for reminding people of what the “Blue No Matter Who” mentality gets you.

      The time to have that conversation is before and during the primaries. After that, it’s not a worthwhile conversation.

      The message isn’t the issue, your timing is.

        LOL

        What primaries? The Democrats invented superdelegates to subvert democracy in the primary process, and then argued in court in Florida that it was their right to do so when they were sued for it.

          Good point. Better to do nothing then. Give up.

          Or get more involved in the only party with a chance and change them from the inside?

          No, that sounds like work. Forget it.

            depends on what you mean by, " get more involved in the only party"

            If you mean gut the dems and start over with 100% new leadership and without being at the behest of the rich, I’m in. Otherwise its a pointless pantomime and I’m not interested in playing along in corpo-fascist games any longer.

                tough one. Its not something that comes up often. I’d say for starters we re-register to a new party to get some momentum going. DSA maybe.
