      I’m not sure if that would be easier than usurping power by primarying d’s who don’t get in line but clearly the geriatric dinosaurs in power in the DNC are half the problem.

      The rightwing was really successful in primarying weak republicans who wouldn’t toe the line but they essentially had free money (PACs) to do so. The nascent left has no such source of funding, the Sorosbucks to Stanleynickles is terrible.

      It would be far easier for them to just hijack the Democratic party the way the far-right did the Republicans.
