We could shape one party to who we vote for, but bullshit both-sides-ism isn’t going to remove the cancerous fascism and the pedophiles in the white house

It seems like progressives are finally making headway within the Democratic party. This has needed to happen for a decade. The Democrats have been working really hard to prevent it from happening, but I guess they can't completely shut it down. The next decade will tell whether or not the Democrats can be a real conduit for progressivism, but if they can't be, then both-sides-ism will be the least of your problems.
