Democrats who have tried to push the party to change course—to embrace universal healthcare, support a ban on stock trading, elevate younger leaders—have probably at some point been scolded to “Vote Blue No Matter Who.”

Worth adding: There are good people doing very important work at the state/local level, and there are even some at the federal level trying to make change inside the party. But the point remains: the *national* Democratic Party will not be a serious opposition until there is accountability & change.
