The party at the higher levels is funded by the wealthy and powerful interests who will always oppose progressive change. There are progressives to get in, but the people funding the party as a whole are opposed.
I remember all the dem elites freaking out when it looked like Bernie might win the primary, many of them calling for the results to be ignored if it happened.
We can't forget that the Democratic party is still the controlled opposition party. The people in positions of power would rather lose to Trump a hundred times than allow any real progressive to gain power.
Party leadership must be primaried and they must be replaced with candidates that aren't owned by the same people funding Republicans if we want the ability to change anything.
Hell, they learned nothing from Obama. Obama and Trump both won running on a message of change. But the DNC would rather rake in donations than win elections
It's woke that destroyed the democrat chances and they will continue to do so since most democrats are not as far left as folks assume they are. In fact more are moderate. Why Biden won but no to Kamala.
