So what would be your solution to convince a whole party with a monopoly on the whole left-ish spectrum of idealogy, a party who has proven themselves entirely corrupt time and time again, just with different owners than the republicans, to willingly let go of the power, money and influence to people who they fundamentally disagree with on almost every single point. That requires a revolution. A revolution that could theoretically be peaceful, but has in practice not happened a single time in history.
The answer is a grassroots movement to vote for independents and candidates that explicitly do not take corpo money.
Look at the Republican Party, it is an unrecognizable entity these days, remade in the image of Trump and taken over entirely by MAGA. But at first the party rejected him pretty strongly. And MAGA is just the Tea Party with a mustache and a Jesus piece. All he had to do was convince people to vote for him, and once in power he applied pressure to all his opponents to get them to fold.
Dems need to realize that they do not need mountains of cash to win elections. Trump ran circles around Kamala with less money. He beat Clinton with about half the money. He took over a party that rejected him in his first go. If progressives wanna know how to remake the Democratic Party they really need to study how Trump moved and take the same risks he did. And of course you also need someone with charisma, which I don’t think they have right now.
