Dems have been captured by zionists, of which Schumer is a pretty bad one. Listen to his AIPAC speech proclaiming there wont be peace with Palestinians because the Torah promised jews the land.

Its the far right zionists that are destroying our government, who overwhelmingly prefer Trump to Biden/Harris, and who brag at home about being friends with Putin and controlling the US.

This is all true, but unless ranked choice and paper ballots are used in a lot of states, which will never happen, then all this will become is a money making party to run failed elections.

USA federal politics is broken. Full stop. It cannot be resurrected. Democracy exists in some states but not others, and the Democratic Party rules in the states which are not lost causes.

One cannot run a federal government with many of the red states having their own cabals of mini authoritarian arseholes. Those red states and many of the purple states are lost causes

I'm inclined to agree at this point. I held out hope that progressive would be able to make them slowly change but after this debacle, I'm all for a separate party that will caucus them, even if it results in a short term set backs in primaries.

It's a sunk cost. The DNC needed to deliver a 2024 win to prove they were worth all the compromise we've tolerated year after year. Abortion isn't even a national issue any more and they still couldn't pull one out. It's a sink cost.
