There are more progressive candidates now than before, and some of them are getting into office. Pledging not to take AIPAC money is now such a thing that AIPAC is creating anonymous subsidiaries with which to donate to their opponents.
Yes, much of the Democratic party is still captured by corporations. The DNC and DCCC are still operating against Democratic Socialist candidates, but that also shows that the corporatist establishment regards the internal movement as a legitimate threat.
Also the Democratic party as a general rule still believes there should be checks and balances, and rule of law (whether or not they fully respect them at all times). The Republican party believes they should move fast and break things, and disregard laws and courts so long as they can do so without consequences.
There is a difference between the enemies you can vote for, and right now we’re experiencing the consequences of too many voters failing to show up at the polls.
