This is wrong. Even a compromise candidate like Bernie was colluded against, the party will only act in its own interests. It isn’t a democratic party, it’s one fully oriented towards resisting radical change.
Yes the Democratic party is oriented towards resisting change. You act like the people have no power, no say. If you think the votes are rigged please explain how.
Voters do have a say. Republican voters wanted someone more extreme than milqtoast mitt Romney, and they got it in Trump. They wanted republican congresspeople that would support Trump instead of obstruct him like McCain. They got them.
Democratic leadership can make it hard for leftists to win, but they aren’t changing vote totals. If Americans voted for leftists in primaries for mayor and city council there would eventually only be leftists running for Congress and eventually a leftist would win the nominee for president.
In 2016, the Clinton campaign shut down polling favoring Bernie. In 2020, the campaign was swaying towards Bernie, but all of the moderates dropped out and rallied around Biden. The primaries aren’t truly democratic.
Even if a Leftist made it to office, the party would not rally around them. The entire system is designed against change, and the preservation of the interests of Capital.
Really, you’re making the case for third party voting, as technically a third party win is possible, and would allow a Leftist in.

Money is a tool, it’s not mind control.

That’s why I vote third party.
