Why do those establishment Dems exist? Because people vote for them..... More importantly you have to convince the rest of America of your ideals with feet on the ground and conversations with real people.

This much is true, but leftist ideas have been intentionally made taboo since the Cold War/Red Scare. Average Americans recognize their quality of life decreasing but would rather vote in a strong-man than address capitalism itself. Unfortunately, this country is closer to authoritarianism than it is to prioritizing the well-being of its citizens.

Instead you bitch about them,

During the election, it was the wrong time to criticize democrats. Now the election has passed and it is still the wrong time to criticize democrats. When are we supposed to remark on our lack of a voice in the two-party system?

....complain about “liberals” and further the divide with them.

I also criticize Republicans on here but that is preaching to the choir. The more that I read about the history of this country and the present-day agenda of furthering the privileges of the wealthy, the harder it is to care about your party's unity.

on the ground and conversations with real people. I’m not seeing any of this.

...And so it isn't happening?

Get off Lemmy. It’s not the real world
