      Mostly city councils (and almost exclusively in blue states) and a few house representatives.

      You just proved my point that the progressives couldn't radically take over the Democratic party in the same way that the Tea Party did the GOP in the same amount of time. Look at that list and it's no real power to change the Democratic party.

      The key difference is; like I explained before; the Democrats have to be dragged, kicking and screaming the entire time to move left. They aren't as smart as the GOP who embraced the Tea Party and later Trump when they realized it was their best shot at getting back into power. The Dems don't think like that cause they have to keep their donors happy. They will tell the millennials and zoomers to fuck off and just get behind their moderate centrist candidates cause the Republicans are bad.

      The only thing the Dems have to offer anymore is empty platitudes and identity politics, and that's what they're still going to sell people on. They aren't going to embrace the left.

        Yes. All of these positions carry power. Particularly in big urban areas, where a single City Council seat can represent hundreds of thousands of people.

        You just proved my point

        "DSA can't win in the party!"

        "Here, these are instances where they won."

        "THOSE INSTANCES DON'T COUNT! I WIN!"

        Thanks Ben Shapiro. This has been a lot of fun.
