The DNC can just their own rules whenever they please.
It’s like a parent saying a kid can’t stay up past 8pm because bedtime is 8pm. Completely ignoring they’re the ones who set and enforce the entire concept of bedtime.
Moderates absolutely see progressives as the same team. The DNC’s whole thing is “Big Tent”. AOC is a star progressive and huge voice in the party. You can thank Bernie for this. Stop getting your news from orange rimmed mouths.
The rules outlined above are a result of the 2016 debacle. The DNC voted to curtail superdelegate powers in 2018 because of how much everyone hated it, but believe it or not they were playing by their rules then too. It was a united vote, the DNC as a whole chose to give more power to non-mainstream voices.

I mean - it’s a good idea not for them to get too arbitrary as well all recall from the bullshit with Clinton v Sanders… it causes a loss of trust.
But I completely agree that this is much more malleable than the flowchart implies.
Except this is the opposite…
They change the rules to win, just not to lose.
Moderates don’t think of progressives as the same team, there’s no reason to keep acting like we are
