As the DNC is unlikely to ever allow that, and with no sign of approval voting ever being implemented to break the 2 party death grip, it would seem that the only option left is solving problems ourselves collectively with mutual aid and direct action, without waiting for the DNC to purge itself of corpos.
The DNC doesn't have an absolute stranglehold on politics, especially at the local level. Some good people, like Bernie Sanders, run on a Democratic ticket. Having Sanders or AOC lose their seats because you're unhappy with the DNC monopolizing "the left half" of the political spectrum is definitely counterproductive.
I do personally advocate for harm reduction voting, as it can make the work we need to do much easier, and reduce suffering.
