If you want them to change, run for office and become the DNC. Actually turn out and get other leftists to turn out and vote. Coalesce with democrats and prioritize defeating Republicans over screaming about how bad the DNC is so you can work internally to get your agendas passed. As it is, the energy I get from leftists is a temper tantrum throwing child who is mad their parents won't buy them crisps at the store. Screaming and yelling doesn't make mummy and daddy more likely to buy you the thing you want. It makes them want to leave you kicking and screaming on the ground while they continue their shopping.
If you want things to change you have to become the adult and enact the change yourself. The DNC is not your parent or some singular entity that you need to convince to give into your demands with your tantrums. It's a political body filled with people, mostly old people who aren't impressed with your tantrums because young people aren't engaging in politics.
You have to work your way up and replace those old people and that means running and winning local elections.
Stop being lazy and hoping someone will do it for you.
