We just witnessed an internal party takeover in the Republican party. What dumbass thinks the same couldn't possibly happen in the Democratic party?

David Hogg won a legitimate party election to become vice chair because he was popular and then was removed by tje DNC for having the wrong ideology.

They have shown us many times they will not allow themselves to change

If people start voting in primaries that can change.

Am I optimistic that it will? No. But the problem is that people who want to see change aren't voting in primaries and then they complain that their choices suck.

Didn't Bernie Sanders lead in 2019 and dems decided to go with Biden for safety?

If you mean that democratic primary voters in subsequent states voted for Biden after Sanders had the early lead, yes.

Yeah, I think you're right. So it's the people that suck, not just the parties.

So it’s the people that suck, not just the parties.

Bingo.

At least the people currently voting in primaries suck. The solution is for more people who don't suck to start voting in primaries
