    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.

      This.

      You have a party of Neoliberal Reagan Republicans (mostly,) and… literal Nazis.

      Ain’t it great?

        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.

          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.”

      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.

        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?
