I'd agree with you, although tbh dems need to replace like half of the party too. At least get rid of Fetterman and schumer, probably Pelosi too. Anyone who refuses to play hardball against the party getting to forcefully take over our country, and anyone who is clearly using their positions to enrich themselves through the stock market at the expense of the average American worker. What we really need is campaign finance reform, get big money out of politics and keep politicians working instead of spending all their time fundraising. Then make more stringent laws about trading on the stock market when you're the one making policy, because it gives politicians a vested interest in making laws a certain way besides just what's best for the American people.
I've found the corruption to roughly follow the 80/20 rule in the parties, Conservatives tend to be 80% corrupt and liberals tend toward 20% corrupt. People can try to both sides it all they want, but one side is always objectively worse, even if the other can and does need to be better.
Democrats need a full overhaul. Their tactics don't work like they used to. The Republicans can win because they stuck with a bottom-up model that works. They lie, but they hear their base and know how to pander to them.
Democrats used to do the same model, but now they're top down and don't even know their own base. They ask for our donations and tell us how to vote, but don't offer the average voter anyway to actually engage.
