I dunno man. I think a strategy of building a political movement from the bottom up (which includes getting good people in small positions) is more likely to succeed in the long run than relying on a moonshot bid for the presidency.

or is it that the fantasy of taking over the inveterately hostile Democratic party from the bottom up is useful to people who are committed to defending the Democratic party as it carries out its mission of full immiseration while still appearing 'progressive'?

I'm open to all options! They are 1) taking over Dems from bottom up 2) Trump style hostile takeover from top 3) third party 4) mass protests. Bernie tried 2 valiantly & failed. 3 tried repeatedly & failed. 4 you guys reject (based on comments on Chapo on climate protests & BLM)

5) Tea Party style: be willing to spoil otherwise winnable elections for Democrats until they meet our demands.

I see 5 as a subset of 1. But agree it's a strategy.
