    By voting in primaries

    Guess you don’t follow politics much. The teabaggers followed that formula and eventually took control of the GOP in form of MAGA. It takes time and commitment otherwise you just get what others create. This isn’t an instant gratification thing. Voting a couple of times isn’t going to cut it.

      MAGA’s takeover required cooperation from the more moderate Republicans. If moderate Republicans refused to vote for Trump in the general he never would have won.

      Meanwhile liberal and moderate Democrats are celebrating the police raids on the protestors. But you think if we manage to get a decent candidate through the primaries they’ll show up to vote?

        The Democratic party today is significantly more progressive than it was 24 years ago, so I’m going to give you kudos
