shifts that could help the GOP or moderate Democrats

So are there people who sincerely believe this bullshit spin? Is it an unrealistically widespread conspiracy of misinformation? Is it indoctrination and confirmation bias?

To anyone with a working brain and a speck of integrity, it’s blatantly obvious that the domination of the party (and most notably the DNC) by “moderates” (which is to say, neoliberal hacks) is the exact problem with the Democrats, and the exact reason that so many people hate both parties. That’s the whole basis for the durability of the claim that both parties are the same - the Democrats are so “moderate” that there isn’t enough difference to overcome that claim.

Trump’s ascension and the collapse of the already toxically moderate Democrats sure as fuck isn’t an opportunity for moderate Democrats - that’s just more of what’s already failed. It’s an opportunity for progressives. It’s an opportunity for the Democrats to reclaim the left, and much more to the point, their role as the party of the people - the party that stands for the people against the depradations of the ruling class.

I understand that the party hierarchy don’t want that - that they’re perfectly content to just gorge themselves at the soft money trough and let the people suffer - but honestly, fuck them. It’s long past time to get them out of the way.

So again, do people sincerely believe this “opportunity for moderates” bullshit? Is it some unrealistically widespread conspiracy? Is it just indoctrination and confirmation bias?

And more importantly, how do we overcome it, and not just sometime, but in time to save the American people from plutocratic autocracy?
