Do you think there is a chance the democratic party comes out of this more progressive/leftist? (lemmy.world)

So the democratic party seems to be in a civil war right now between the old guard like Schumer and the more progressive side like Bernie and AOC. But the conservatives seem to be fractured themselves based on some of the town halls we’ve been seeing, even if the media wont report in them, which could lead to more republicans fleeing to the democrat side making it more right wing. However, It’s clear the old strategy may wasn’t working and many on both sides want more progressive ideas. But was the failure of the 2024 election enough to shake up the party? What are your thoughts?

I doubt it.

Trump's first presidency was supposed to be a wake up call.

They threw Hilary into the ring.

During the post-Biden election, after fixing the chaos that Trump made, and instead of pushing for reform and supporting the working class and everyone still left behind...

The idiots of the Democratic party said, "All these BLM/Police Reform protests and calls for workers rights seem interesting. Let's put a pro-cop black woman that should make a bunch of people unhappy as a compromise."

Bernie has been a loud voice since the 70s. America didnt pay attention until 2010. America's Democrats won't pay attention period.
