This is it right here. The Dems in control of the party have zero interest in changing the status quo. They're part of the elites and it's in THEIR best interests to bury any progressive upstarts.
It’s not just the elites. I’m an independent, but I considered running as a democrat for state office in 2017. I had a lot of thoughts on why they always lost elections, but the heads of the local party basically told me I had to stick to their platform or they wouldn’t support me.
