Nobody is going to “give” you a shot. The left has to take it. If they can’t figure out how to do that, they don’t have what it takes to lead the country.
And you don’t think the Republicans put their thumb on the scale every chance they get? The fight is not going to be fair. You have to be able to win in spite of that.
I’m sure the republicans do put their thumb on the scale… that doesn’t mean the direction centrist dems put their thumb on the scale for is correct direction. Centrist dems still lost despite massive institutional backing in their direction.
Candidates like Zorhan Mamdani have managed overcome massive institutional push back.
You’re making an assumption that privately run DNC primaries are perfect competitions for determining which candidate is best. This is an incorrect assumption. The DNC itself has literally said you are wrong in a court of law.
Do you believe the DNC should continue to push back against candidates like Zorhan Mamdani?
Zohran Mamdani is a great example. He beat the Dems on their own grounds. I have faith he can be a leader against the Republican administration precisely because he proved he has a plan and the ability to execute it in spite of resistance.
We need to get rid of “first past the post” election systems. That will allow candidates like Mamdani to be competitive in a larger variety. The way I see it, this will NEVER happen through Republicans and as the system exists now there are only two viable choices. I’m not saying it won’t be an uphill battle, but at least there has been some progress in making elections more representative of a variety of political views under Democrats.

The DNC puts its thumb on the scale for the centrist all the to give them a better shot. Despite a proven track record for failing to beat Trump.
