It's not all of them. The majority sure, but it is possible to change the democratic party from within.
But that requires heavy voter turn outs that vote as far left as possible in local elections and primaries.
I think it would take a lot of restructuring as well. The systems in place don’t allow the people who may want to do something a chance to do it.
Campaign reform, lobbying abolishment, so many things I can’t list them in a random lemmy reply. It also doesn’t help that a rep can just flip sides after they are elected.
You're not wrong. It's a nearly insurmountable problem.
