Whatever you need to tell yourself to convince yourself you're not a cynic bud. Enjoy your delusions.

Your approach is to give up because changing the DNC from the inside is too hard and you think you tried once so you're giving up.

My approach is to take the hard road but also the only road that leads to actual change and not throwing away my vote while fascists claim uncontested rule for the next three decades because Democrats hurt your fee fees by not making Bernie president that one time.

That's why you're a cynic. You've decided to flip the board and not play anymore because you didn't get your way like a petulant toddler throwing a temper tantrum instead of pulling up your big boy pants and primarying the old guard Democrats so we can actually get shit done. And no they aren't just going to roll over and let you take their power so you have to fight for it.

I think what actually happened here is projection. You identified that you are a cynic and decided to try to apply the label preemptively to others. But it's okay. We all handle things differently. Yours is to give up and point fingers at others for your own shortcomings. Some of us will continue to fight though. Good luck.

The opinion of a worthless cynic is only worth responding to as a foil to demonstrate the inadequacy of that perspective.

From my perspective, the worthless cynic here is you. You've given up on changing the only party that will actually hold any power because changing it is "too hard". But fair enough, you have different experiences and perhaps give up easier than others.

Or maybe you should run for office as a Democrat if you want to see your ideals realized.

There is no winning the fight within the DNC as they've shown they're more than willing to self sabotage and lose elections rather than give over control of the party.

If they're willing to lose elections to avoid changes from pressure within, what makes you think pressure from the outside will change them?

Your claim that they have bowed to outside pressure is unconvincing and you haven't provided any evidence to support it.

The only thing that has effectively changed the policies of the DNC or the GOP is money from billionaires.

A third party doesn't even need to necessarily be able to win a national election; it can be sufficient if it forces the DNC into having to adopt more popular, more socialist, more democratic policies.

This will never happen. You cannot -force- the DNC with pressure from the outside. And third parties will never win. The only way to succeed here is to grassroots take over the DNC from the bottom up by primarying and winning all local and state offices and working your way up to the top.

The only problem is you have to fight against the moneyed interests and win.

Marketing genius.

Not entirely. Congress and the Supreme Court are filled with his sycophants.
