    I like to think that the political machine we’re building to combat the Trump administration will flatten the DNC old guard pretty handily. Time will tell, but they barely had a handle on Bernie when there was no organization or understanding of the scale of the fight. I’m hopeful.

      Except no such thing exists. MAGA hasn’t created any meaningful surge in independent progressive (let alone genuine leftwing) politics; it’s only compelled the center left to close ranks with the center against the rising tide of the far right. There’s zero momentum for “flattening the old guard;” if you want to do that you’ll have to actually try.
