      pretty much, it is the only realistic way of fixing things outside of full on revolution. quietly take over seats until you have the majority necessary to take control of the party’s pocketbook. $ is the only thing the majority of establishment politicians care about anyway, if you have control of that they will either flip or dropout when the hassle isnt worth it anymore.

      DNC at the national level is actually very close to this itself, iirc. progressive caucus was only 10 or so seats away from having a majority (of dem) seats in the House. if enough progressives get seats in this next one entire leadership of DNC could be upended real quick
