The Vermont senator, who has long had a tense relationship with the Democratic Party, suggested in an interview that more progressives should join him in running as independents.
I get what he’s saying, but the history of third parties in the US says this is futile. Then again, the last thing the Democrats need right now is extensive party in-fighting when they should be united.
Most people united after Hilary was made the candidate; and they lost. People united after Harris was the candidate; they still lost.
Best thing to do is start from scratch, away from this bullshit democratic party. As it stands, they will never agree to what the people want. Free healthcare is one example.
Starting from scratch won’t work until we fix our First Past the Post voting system. See this video for a crystal clear explanation -https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo
We can’t fix it; only elected officials can. So vote for people who actually support ending FPTP. They know. Everybody knows. It’s been crystal clear since the 2000 election. If they’re not against FPTP by now, then it’s on purpose, and they’ve been bought.
