I want him, and most of the DNC, to step down and be replaced by actual progressives instead of out of touch elites who have shown their incompetence far too many times

What do I want done... What a freaking question. It's like if someone crashed into your car and sent you to the hospital and they ask "well what do you want me to do about it?". We are way past the point of them being able to fix it.
