I agree, but I also wonder if the Democratic party can be converted from the inside to change it's focus.

Probably not. I just winder what the best way forward is. It's not really clear.

    I mean a conservative project to do exactly this is what transformed the Cheney era neocons into the modern day fascist party we see. So at least in principle that's possible. but clearly the neocons were more than happy to go along with fascism. Fascism and conservativism have effectively the same goals.

    The neoliberals who faced the same kind of insurrection from within their party at the same time were unwilling to adopt progressivism and are still unwilling to adopt progressivism. The right was able to change their party into a fascist one, the left has failed to move the demo party into being a progressive party
