While liberals have held their tongues as Kamala Harris tacked to the center, they're preparing for a major battle over the future of the party, with personnel emerging as a flashpoint.
It sounds like you don’t yet understand that the DNC has full authority to determine who is allowed to percolate to Party designated positions. This is why when the DNC kneecapped Bernie Sanders, the courts said,“nah it’s a private party- they can do as they please.”
So, my point- if progressives did find a candidate to champion, there would be nothing preventing the DNC from simply saying, “no.”
Agreed, which is why progressives need to start as early as possible.
lol, with what leverage?
Hence why they need to get a primary candidate early. If you can think of some other way to exert pressure, I’m all ears.
First you have to figure out what’s going to prevent the DNC from simply saying, “nuh uh.”
To having primaries? I mean sure, if they want to go completely mask off and stop pretending to be a democratic anything.

You got a better idea? Because I don’t think the even the DNC is that eager to throw an entire wing of their party away.
I do not share your optimism.
Again, if you have a better idea, let’s hear it.
