[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should the republican party split between the republicans and the MAGAs?[/quote]
Republicans and MAGA are in full agreement. Something like 91% of republicans support Trump.[/quote]
Because MAGA took over the republican party. Progressives need to do the same thing. The centrist dems suck, are wimps, and have no actual policy demands, just shifting to whatever republicans kvetch about. [/quote]

The two are not the same. MAGA essentially pushed the GOP in the direction supported by the oligarchs and evangelicals. They had the support of large donors, thus allowing their takeover of the party.

Progressives, on the other hand, want to move the party away from the status quo and call for policy that would challenge the oligarchs and big money donors. It's why the Dems are so incredibly hostile to them. Dems know where their bread is buttered, and they prefer to pay lipservice to progressive social issues than to support anything that truly threatens the capital class. The capital class will never allow the Democrats to be anything other than the party of lipservice. They are a heat sink for revolutionary energy. They make people feel good but will not ever do anything to actually challenge the status quo.

If progressives want to gain a foothold in this country, they will have to do it outside the infrastructure of the DNC, because the DNC will always kill or co-opt any progressive movement within the party itself. [/quote]
