While I agree, progressives need to stop playing by the rules that everyone is ignoring anyway and actually have the balls (or ovaries) to stand up to these rest of these pricks. Understandably they fear retribution, but guess what, that's a risk of being a leader. It would seem that noone has the gumption to rise to the occasion.
Who will step up to lead them ... That the current establishment will allow?
I wonder if Bernie and AOC's mini tour wasn't partially gauging the plausibility of starting a new party. Dems are just as lost as the GOP is evil. This would be the time in the cycle to do that.
I'd be down if they did that. I'd jump ship for a progressive labor party or something along those lines, especially if led by them.
The question is would most democrats?
