    Couldn’t you say the same for the Republicans, or any party for that matter? ie, “Join them and if enough people like you join them they’ll change.”

    Realistically, some new political operator isn’t going to get any relevant positions. And nobody with the relevant positions will listen to a new political operator.

    That may work in theory but it’s basically saying to create a new Demcratic party from within.

      Democrats are more closely aligned today. The work would be easier. But sure.

      This is a consequence of the two party system. You could dismantle that, but I think dismantling would require running one of the parties.
