"Salvageable" is an academic question. Everyone at least from Bernie on left strongly disagrees with the way Democrats operate. The functional question is whether something better can more easily be achieved outside of the party or from within it. Wherever you come down on that question, no one is really invested in the continued existence of the Democratic Party. For instance, Bernie (who was an independent for decades) almost certainly would welcome it if the party fell apart tomorrow.
Absolutely. My point is only that no one even broadly on our side actually wants the Democratic Party to continue on with business as usual. The sole question is how to best make that apple fall.
