(21,704 posts)And instead of pissing and moaning about the state of things, people here should be involved in their local Democratic parties, out on the streets canvassing and phone-banking.
It's rather easy - you join your local Democratic committee in your town, maybe even become a "district leader" - most of them are looking for warm bodies in this regard. You get involved on the local level and support local candidates - get to know the players, where the wires are pulled, etc.
If the local Democratic committees get more progressives into their system, this will trickle up into the state parties and eventually to the national party.
You want to take over the Democratic Party? first you gotta be in the Democratic Party Quick fixes and working from the outside ain't gonna cut it.
