    If you want party reform you need to get initiatives on local ballots

    Have you not been watching Gavin vetoing the what he or his donors don’t like in California after the people pass them like that?? Nm

      Gavin is digging his own grave, I’m sure those ballot measures will amount to something when progressives are back in power in Cali. Gavin is the sole opponent to the 2019 ranked choice voting.

          I bet you said the same thing about Bloomberg. Regardless of his low chances of primary success, he would still be infinitely better than Trump.

            Nope. Biden was the predetermined nominee in 2020. Bloomberg was a means to that end.

            And you support any candidate over a progressive. Including and especially trump.

              Biden won the 2020 Primary, about doubling Sanders’ votes. Are you implying Bernie Sanders is also just pretending to be progressive and intentionally throwing?

                Bloomberg’s literal stated reason for joining the race was to stop Sanders. Stop with the self-serving revisionist shit already.

                  Bloomberg clearly failed miserably because Sanders was second place and Biden doubled Sanders votes. Bloomberg was a net zero on the outcome. Nobody and I do mean absolutely nobody who would have voted for Sanders instead voted for Bloomberg.

                  Point being you can’t buy your way in, voters decide the DNC candidate.

                    voters decide the DNC candidate.

                    Imagine believing that after 2024. Imagine thinking anyone else is stupid enough to believe it.
