We need to do what the Tea Party did to the republicans. Get involved on the local level, take over the underpinnings of the party bit by bit, and become a constant thorn in the side of the conservative democratic leadership.
People seem to think reforming parties is impossible despite the fact that conservatives literally just did it to the Republican party. The current Republican party is not the same Republican party from 20 years ago, in the worse ways possible. The Tea Party brought their insanity in and spread it around and now you have a way more crazy and way more dangerous Republican party.
That was a bad reform. Good reforms are possible too.
A revolution is simply not going to happen in America. The only path forward is reforming the Democrat party by primarying the shitstains out.
The tea party was the origin of the term astroturfing. It was designed by billionaires who pumped money into it to make it look like a grassroots organization.
They had to do that because the stuff they were fighting for was monstrous. Still, the blueprint of what they did doesn’t require billionaire backing if you’re not trying to destroy the country and it was effective. They got everything they wanted.
