    Both parties suck, but one party can be conquered, and reconfigured to reflect what we want.

    That’s exactly what the Radical Republicans did. They started in the 90s with Gingrich’s Contract With America, and slowly took over the party, taking it more and more right, through the Tea Party, and eventually MAGA.

    Dems can do the same thing, and now that they have the playbook, they can speed up the process. They don’t have get in the mud, and cheat and steal, but they do absolutely have to play Hard Ball, and force the DNC to do what we want. The Republicans did it, and their leaders aren’t nearly as weak as Dem leaders.
