      I’m curious if this “progressive” movement takes hold. This could be for the democrats what the tea party was for the Republicans. The RNC did everything it could to push out the tea party faction, but they won and took over the party.

      Maybe the new wave of Democratic socialists can do the same to the DNC.

      Then again I’m not sure we can survive the 2 or 3 election cycles necessary to get there

      Which Democrats? You did not clarify, and it matters, especially when you are using defeatist rhetoric…

        DNC leadership, the rotating villains that help pass ghoulish legislation, and the rank-and-file Dems who are happy to go on the news to criticize the DSA (who are not socialists, just pro- regulation and social services, aka governing). Pro-corprate and pro-AIPAC Dems need to be defeated just as much as Republicans.
