(15,587 posts)the only viable option for reclaim our democracy. We aren't going to change the party from outside it. We don't have to -- we are many, we are too strong, the rest of the party will come along as we continue to lead, just like we did in 2016 and 2018. We are trending back to the left and just need to keep the pedal to the metal.
By the way, some strategies I use are: donate only to candidates, not the party itself; serve as a PCP, but work for specific candidates, not the local party (I think this is annoying some of the local leadership, but they can't and won't do anything about it -- they need my/our votes).
The point is, let's don't get sucked into the "establishment's" game here at DU. And rtemember, this isn't so much about Bernie but about what he stands for. It's on the latter that we are actually winning within the party and here.
