Democrats certainly have flaws, but focusing on them during an election of such consequence resulted in Trump. And so being "right" was worth it?????
Trump is a consequence of decades of lesser evilism and rightward ratcheting
If progressivism was so popular they could've taken over the Democratic party at any time.
The capitalist party that writes its own rules and does not adopt literally any positions via bottom-up mechanism? No, nobody can take it over except other capitalists. So in a sense you are correct, as US progressives are still fundamentally of the political ideology of capitalism.
The party works against you but, ironically, convinces you to help it for your own and others' interests. Instead, we must work together against capital if we want liberation and justice.
