    The Democratic Party needs to be disbanded. It’s done. It’s over. Something new needs to rise from the ashes. If that’s the leftmost option the us has then it’s done.

      I’m not sure, I think if you disband the Democratic party, you might not see something replace it, and that’d be bad for democracy. Taking it over from the inside and replacing the old guard like Trump did with the GOP is a better idea.

          I’m pretty sure someone will do it, though it won’t be nearly as dramatic.

            How can you see things likewise can you see things like this and think that’s the way the dems are going? That’s so divorced from reality my guy.

              Wait you think I was saying that the Democrat Party would lurch towards Progressivism in its next era?

                Well my original point was that if it doesn’t then the party is not worth even having.

                    So are you saying they need a right wing takeover? Or just more of the same but just with new faces? Because neither of those things will win them elections.
