I voted Harris. But at this point, i am thinking that the Democratic Party must be corralled first before trying to take on the republicans. So now i am looking for third party or independent in the future.
Find dems in primaries that agree with you. If you can’t find one reasonable close, run yourself. That’s my mindset. Already trying to make connections to run myself
I look at is as you have a party that ran Al Gore, who won a Nobel Prize for trying to alert people to the dangers of climate change, but somehow he wasn’t better than a stumblebum like Bush Jr.
@Dagwood222@Fredthefishlord I mean it’s stupid that it was even close, but Dubya’s brother stole the election for him. Pretty much accepted fact now that if the recounts had actually been allowed then Gore would have won. US elections are awful. https://youtu.be/jucDFrO89Ko
The GOP turning into a Nazi party is living proof that even in the American landscape, substantial political shifts are possible. If leftists would organize and tea-party the democrats from the other flank there would be an immediate effect. The problem being, of course, that leftists start arguing over the dumbest shit immediately which hinders any real coordination.

Keep dreaming.
Midterms are less than 24 months away. You’re not going to get a viable third party.
If you want progress, start finding and supporting the Dems you like in the primaries.

Ex - NYC Mayor Ed Koch made the best point. “If you agree with me 51%, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% see a psychiatrist.”
On that not didn’t Ed Koch’s incompetence with an Ice Ring help make Trump more famous in New York?
This.
You have a party of Neoliberal Reagan Republicans (mostly,) and… literal Nazis.
Ain’t it great?

You hit on the the Left’s greatest weakness: they fight amongst themselves until it’s too late.
The Right is unified, they eject anyone who isn’t a “Team Player.”

What an absurd oversimplification
Nah, that’s exactly what’s happening.
