Progressive movement leader Alexandra Rojas writes for Zeteo that those in charge of the Democrats’ 2024 campaign should have been fired a long time ago.
Bernie did what he did without it. All he needed was the DNC tag of DEM.
Here’s the difference. GOP let Trump win the nomination and he redefined the party. The DNC didn’t let Bernie win the nomination so the needed transformation never happened.
Granted, I suspect the willingness to play ball re money decided both those actions.
Where else would they get their money, before and after election times and mid-terms?
You can't separate economic base interests from the governing superstructure, Jack, unless you change the former

This presupposes that the Dem party's leadership haven't been fully commanded by the class interests of professional managerial class, who benefits from those high corporate salaries, possible stock options, from their shareholder/financial rentier capital owners, and act as its clean P.R campaign managers (they had one job but they f-d up).
The Reps. do overlap in this regard, albeit on lesser scale, having their leadership's class interests also, if not usually on settler-colonial-originated petty-bourgeois constituents, who get their calls from literal landlords, et agricultural-rentier capital, opting for 'natural monopolies' (they're the ones who get their hands dirty; dems invest in it)
Most industrial capital owning constituents have been convinced over to rentierism that is western-hegemonic neoliberalism/monopoly capitalism, or dare I say, imperialism.
If the Dems are the ones providing logistics, the Reps are the ones mostly loading and shooting at us, though for the sake of bipartisanship, the dems won't hesitate to.

That's democratic capitalism working as designed, baby
