I must concur with you. A Conservative joining the Democratic Party and trying to reform it from within is about as hopeless as a Pro-Lifer going to work, as a janitor, at an abortion clinic, and trying to reform it.
If it were possible for one to attain a high-ranking position within the Democratic Party - without losing one's soul - then one might possibly be able (in a small way) to become an advocate for moral decency on some non-core issues, to moderate its tone, and to curb its worst excesses. Perhaps one could even acquire a reputation as a decent, level-headed Democratic Party functionary, and be held up (by others seeking to profit unfairly from it) as an example of someone of character within the Party.
But you might as well try jumping in bed with a flea-ridden dog, with the intent of helping the dog to free itself of fleas.

You are aware that there are folks that have worked in the abortion industry who are blowing whistles aren’t you?
Its a nasty business, and my heart bleeds for the person that gets the bona fides to be heard.
There are people behind the lines that are exposing the left.
