They’re not going to change a thing unless people make them.

Find your local state delegate and personally tell them how you feel a centrist is only going to guarantee another Republican victory. They are listed here: https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_National_Committee

      That’s not a constructive approach. Doing nothing just means Republicans completely disasemble what remains of democracy in the US.

          Why not just orchestrate a takeover of the Green Party? Then extract concessions from Democrats in exchange for not running.

          If you do that, you will just split the vote, giving Republicans another win. I’m not sure if your democracy will survive thus term, but another… forget it.

            If Democrats are so damned serious about making sure Republicans don’t win, THEY can stay out of the race.
