, they’ll need to be either coerced or sidestepped entirely for any real change to happen.

THAT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY 2025

you're yelling that we need to have a fight that we've been having for decades and literally just won...

Ken Martin had his first real test in David Hogg and he failed it. He might be an improvement, but he seems to not be a radical change from what was there before. That said my point isn't that the DNC should be reformed (though that would certainly be welcome), but that the American left needs to be willing to criticize and organize against the DNC. If that's not necessary then all is good, but American progressives need to be willing to beat the Democratic Party with a stick when it misbehaves rather than make excuses about how every election is The Most Important Election Ever™. Around these parts in 2024 you couldn't write anything criticizing the DNC or Biden (later Harris) without being called a Russian troll and that attitude needs to change.
