    Nope if you ask me. Socialists must conquer the Dem platform just as fascist have conquered the GOP

      Problem is:

      both the DNC and GOP fight Socialists (or more like moderate social democrats already)
      both the DNC and GOP do not fight Fascist, and often help them instead.

      Problem is fascists get a lot of money or have their signal boosted with money for doing what they are doing. Socialists will be fought with money. Remember the billionaires standing in line behind Trump? Who were missing were the Murdoch media empire an Putin, they also signal-boosted Trump. But other than those, that row of billionaires gives you an idea of how much money is backing fascists.

      In principle yeah, although I’ve a feeling the only way that’s going to happen is with a credible socialist party showing up to threaten the status quo and force their hand. Otherwise they’re just going to keep on keeping on; we already saw what happened with Bernie, and he’s not even that hard left.
