Now if we can convince that side to then use the victory to change the rules, then so be it.

What if Democrats not only don't change the rules to improve the democratic process, but they also fail to even talk about significantly improving their constituents' lives? What if they also can't be bothered to take climate change seriously? And what if -- after all that -- they do genocide?

I used to think like you do, but at some point in the last decade or two Democrats stopped being a worthwhile option. The party will have to be either radically changed or smashed in order for any major progress to happen anytime soon.
