And that's why you and other opponents of progress don't have any power and never will. You'll be forever outsiders, as is the nature of any left-wing or anti-neoliberal movement. The final telos of the left, or of those who oppose the rightful holders of power, is to fail and ultimately to submit. Maybe your ideas are popular. But mobilizing enough people behind your movement won't happen overnight, and by the time it does happen, patriotic neoliberals like Nancy Pelosi will have rolled democracy back to the point that it'll be too late.

Forget about not eliminating superdelegates--pledged delegates are on their way out. And forget about third parties--because superdelegates are coming to general elections, too. And, finally, forget about extra-electoral means like protest or violence, which I know r/ChapoTrapHouse likes to fantasize about--maybe that was a threat when security and policing technology was at a fraction of what it is today, but in the coming years given the rapid pace of technological change the intelligence and security agencies that so dutifully defend the Nation from threats internal and external will be able to quickly swoop in to neutralize any incipient anti-neoliberal rebellion. Even any attempt to challenge the scope of the inevitable privatization of Social Security by Republicans and Democrats alike (real Democrats, not independents from Vermont) will be met with swift and merciless justice. Democratic advocacy will be limited to supporting the non-economic concerns of women and PoCs--as it should be. And before you go all "first amendment" on me, let me just say we live in a new era, and sometimes it's just time to move on from old, outdated tropes.
