I agree, but I also wonder if the Democratic party can be converted from the inside to change it's focus.

Probably not. I just winder what the best way forward is. It's not really clear.

The DNC is designed against entryism, and drives its power not from popular support, but wealthy private donors. What's important is directly organizing on the ground to form a large, working class party, like PSL. Reading theory and organizing are the best things you can do. If you want somewhere to start with theory, I made an introductory Marxist-Leninist reading list you can check out.

Wow, that's quite a lot of content to go through. Thanks!

No worries! Honestly it's designed to turn anyone from not knowing anything at all about Marxism into a capable cadre that can figure out where to go next (like Capital, Anti-Dühring, etc), but just reading section 0a is great if you just want to dip your toes in.

📺 Why the Democratic Party CANNOT and WILL NOT be Reformed

Democrats would rather lose to a Republican, to a conservative, to a fascist, to Trump, than address the material conditions of the American people.

It can't be reformed. It needs to be burn down and new party started.

The two party system exists to prevent this.

people have been trying that for 60+ years its a no go, the party is fundamentally anti-working-class

60 years ago, Democrats were creating Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and the Job Corps, passing civil rights, voting rights, and labor protection acts, and massively expanding investment in public housing and education. It's only in the past 45 years things have really gone sideways

The DNC has always been a capitalist and imperialist party, passing social welfare programs doesn't counter that basic fact, and as such doesn't counter that leftists have been trying to change them into a leftist party for far longer.
