I’m not proposing anything because there’s nothing to propose.
Either party leadership will realize the error of its ways or it won’t. Maybe they’ll listen to the folks flooding their phone lines and town halls and maybe they won’t. Maybe some of those folks will run for office and try to change the system from the inside, maybe they’ll just become another part of it.
In any case, the next election is a long way off. So long as the only acceptable opposition to the Republicans has to be mediated by Democrats, then we don’t get don’t get to have any real input 'til voting day.

The ousting of old leadership in favor of new has already started with a progressive from Minnesota being elected DNC chair and David Hogg elected Vice Chair. And it happened because enough people who cared voted for it.

There were only 428 total votes for DNC chair election. “Enough people” is apparently about the same size as a school board election.
