You want to know something crazy? In the US you actually get to decide who a party puts up for election. It’s called the Primaries.
Yes, I’m being very unsubtle with this hint.
Vote them out. Vote progressives. There are a lot of problems with the Dems, but the biggest one is that the voters never fucking show up (especially not in midterms). Y’all just stood back and let the party be captured by do nothing centrists, then complained that its full of do nothing centrists.
The dnc is a private organization and they hold their own primaries. Its not a part of the government, its one of the big clubs holding their own popularity contest. And even the federal electoral system itself has been applied in ways with glaring flaws. Its disingenuous to suggest voting is a panacea for this.

Why would they let us do that when those same do-nothing centrists get to decide who’s allowed to run in the primary?
