The DNC is only keeping the far-right at bay, instead of actually stomping it dead for good.

What?!
The entire point of the democratic party is to get it's members elected.
And theyre a private party with no obligations to anyone else.
It's the parties job to convince voters to vote. It's not the voters job to always pick the lesser of two evils, especially when both parties use every opportunity to become more "evil" by siding with the wealthy more than regular citizens.
We're not the ones who just wasted $1,500,000,000 and paid ourselves millions.
If it's our job why the fuck are we paying people fighting against us to do it poorly?
I'm not paying you and you're not paying me, but we can still volunteer, organize events, speak to our peers to get them to vote for whats right, for policy that helps them.
The party's job is to vote on legislation. Its our job to get them there.
But what matters most is the DNC chair election on 2/2/25.
And I don't know about you, but I can't vote in that, so I'm just waiting to see what happens
I'm optimistic though
Edit:
Sorry replied to fast:
I think the confusion is I'm talking about the actual party, the DNC.
And you seem to be talking about elected politicians who belong to the party.
Two completely different things.
Candidates for office get picked in Primaries. If you get rejected by the DNC to even be on a ticket then congrats you failed one of the lowest imaginable bars.
