@stanleybmanly I think electing a genuine progressive would clean up the DNC. They get to pick the head of the DNC, and then purge all of the lobbyists and consultants from the party. They could certainly exert immense pressure on neoliberal leaders to step down from powerful seats or face the bully pulpit being used against them. FDR took on his party in his day and they fell in line.
“But to say that Trump is equivalent to all the rest is just plain absurd.”
I never said they were equivalent, I said they were worse. We’re probably going to have an even more evil Republican president than Trump in the near future, and it will be the Democrats that cause it year after year. Like I said, Trump is the tumor, but they are the carcinogen that causes all of the tumors to keep coming back.
