My point is that you guys need to stop focusing so much on candidates, and start focusing more on organization. FDR was good in a lot of ways, but he did not show up magically out of nowhere, and he did not start the progressive movement on his own. The New Deal would never have happened without the urban unions and prairie populists.

Gavin Newsom is not ideal, and you should fight to ensure someone better wins the primary - but he is still more likely to find himself in a situation where he has to please some people with some good ideas.

The core of the problem is the extreme wealthy - no Republican candidate is going to do anything about that, Democrat candidates can be pressured into it.

maybe you’re right, but Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were both the wrong candidates for the wrong time, and ran not very good campaigns - I’d rather conclude that this is not the time for an uncharismatic status quo candidate, than that this is not the time for a woman candidate
