    can be changed over time.

    Can they though? They were the conservative party before Nixon, and clinton and obama both governmened from the center right. There is no history of the democrats ever being progressive besides a few politicians like Sanders Warren AOC. They never had a progressive party leader.

      In hypothetical primary races between AOC and Schumer, polls have shown thay AOC would clean house. And that’s what needs to happen. New Yorkers need to fire Schumer in 2028 by selecting a progressive democract.

          Interesting how you’re using the “Democrat Party” epithet used by conservative influencers and trolls in a thread where a bunch of you are trying to convince people that it’s morally superior to not vote at all than to vote for opponents of the GOP.

            Their not opponents they’re all friends, just like five house reps including one Republican who are against trump, the rest of them are just along for the trump ride and making money off insider trading before trump announcements. Didn’t say it was better not to vote, still vote for the lesser of two evils but yeah they’re both evil, just one is good about saying nice things about poor people while fucking them
