In the past decade we haven't once given the DNC more than 50 seats. If we had given them 60 we would have public option expanded healthcare, we would be taxing the rich, citizens united wouldn't still exist and all this talk of megarich donors would go away, and men and women would have full body autonomy and reproductive organ control as enshrined rights.

Instead, the alternative is getting fucked by Republicans at every turn and complaining that none of the DNC platform has been achievable even though we gave them 44 fucking seats and a Bernie Sanders.
