    The duopoly does represent the people. People suck sometimes. The Democratic Party is the method for people like her to push change. The Democratic Party gives her cause MORE power by consolidating efforts

    If there was overwhelming support, even just among liberals, Bernie would have won in 2016 or 2020.

      The duopoly only represents the people as long as it keeps them divided and powerless. Consolidating efforts under the Democratic Party has proven time and again to dilute true progressive change, not empower it.

      If there was overwhelming support for the establishment, Bernie wouldn’t have faced the massive resistance from within his own party that he did in 2016 and 2020.

      And for the record, I liked Bernie and was prepared to vote for him.
