Progressives need the structure of the Democratic Party to function.
Grass roots is why the convention was a total disaster. No organization, no structure, total chaos.Which means there is no functional progressive vehicle outside of grass-roots movements that go around the two party system. Did you watch the video? The Justice Democrats were how progressives could even survive in the party with a modicum of power, and they left Nina Turner to effectively die on the campaign trail.
Time-stamped this time:
Progressives need the structure of the Democratic Party to function. We all saw the hilarity that ensued when they were left to their own devices at their convention in 2019.

The convention was recorded. You can watch it yourself on YouTube but prepare for side-splitting laughter.We did? I don't remember that hilarity. Was it something like Trump Junior's pole dancing girlfriend blurting out "The BEST is YET to COME" to an empty room?
Which is progressive candidates leveraging the Democratic Party’s structure and resources because they otherwise don’t have a chance in hell of clawing their way out of obscurity?As opposed to what we have now.

The progressive candidate won this primary with two-thirds of the vote! Take the W.

For example, trying to accommodate everyone’s “triggers” was hilarious. Much of the time was taken up by “point of personal privilege” objections to pronouns, gendered language, whispering, clapping instead of jazz hands, “aggressive scents,” voice volume, etc. The list of absurdities just goes on and on. And don’t even get me started on what happened when they finally tried to vote on measures.Why don't you tell me what you saw as the hilarity.

In the Race Against Nina Turner, GOP Donors Fund Shontel Brown
With one week left in the Ohio primary, Republican donors have picked their Democrat — and the pro-Israel PAC supporting her.theintercept.com
In upset, pro-Israel-backed candidate wins Ohio Democratic congressional primary
Progressive Squad-backed Nina Turner saw her massive lead shrink in recent weeks as more centrist Shontel Brown emerged from crowded pack of candidates with help of Jewish groupswww.timesofisrael.com
An Oil Billionaire Is Trying to Crush Nina Turner in Ohio
A super PAC bankrolled by an oil billionaire is trying to crush Nina Turner and boost her opponent, Shontel Brown, in their upcoming Ohio congressional race. It might have something to do with the fact that Turner is a leading proponent of a Green New Deal.www.jacobinmag.com

It would have been in their interest to define and circulate the rules and agenda beforehand. Instead, there were no rules, there was no agenda, and they tried to do everything ad hoc. Because in some corners rules and order are for The Man not for comrades. You had delegates objecting to the presence of other elected delegates from other districts and unilaterally replacing them with someone else. There were objections to basic process and procedure and whether or not the delegates should be voting at all. So they went down the path for every issue of trying to vote on whether or not to vote. It proved impossible to maintain order let alone accomplish anything since just when you thought the “trigger” nonsense was over it started up again because someone was always offended by something and had a “point of personal privilege.” Then it was like the movie Inception as “personal points of privilege” were shouted out in response to other “personal points of privilege” with objections to objections to objections.So it would have been in their interest to have some idiot pretending to be Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments. Got it.

I’m not an anti-Semite trying to promote a da joooooz conspiracy theory as an explanation for why your candidate was a big fat flop. And I’m not going down that rabbit hole. Nina Turner had a terrible reputation even among progressives because of her shady leadership of Our Revolution. That’s all.You also snipped the flood of GOP money that came to support Shontel. You can't use anti-Semitism accusations as a blanket shield against corruption. That's what cowards do. You're not a coward, are you?

The political left has always been antisemitic, because they hate capitalism and Jews do very well under capitalism
The political left has always been antisemitic, because they hate capitalism and Jews do very well under capitalism, so they make the connection Jews = capitalists. Marx (who was an ethnic Jew himself) hated Jews, as did Fourier, Proudhon, Stalin, and others.
