You forget the last part of the trick:

Double down, blame everyone else, go even further to the right. Then collect an even bigger check from billionaires

The DNC doesn't exist to get Dems in office, it's only purpose these days is to make sure when the billionaires lose, they just win a little less then they would have.

At this point there's no other explanation for why they're so fucking bad at getting a Dem elected.

So when we burning it down? It'd be better to start now, not 3 years from now.

If anyone wants to make an actual difference, the big time to do so would actually be midterms. I'm pretty sure we'll still have 2026 midterm elections, so working to replace pro-corporate Democrats in historically safe Dem districts would be the place to start. Checking in with any politically active leftist groups in your area is a good way to start finding candidates to rally around, and local protests are generally a great place to connect with leftist groups.

Well never have midterms. The reds won't want to risk giving up any co trol.

"If I win, you'll never have to vote again!"

They'll demand we start burning the system down just before the next election, don't worry.
