While he is doing well, the reality is if he doesnt break from democrat this will be a big scam when he will try to get these people to vote democrat if there is an election.
We absolutely cannot afford to make a third party right now. That splits the vote and guarantees Republican dominance going forward.
We must change the Democratic party through primaries.
But the Democrats aren’t going to start fighting for what the people want if voters keep voting Blue No Matter Who. We’ve seen them continuously run to the right, because they don’t feel like they have to earn votes.
I get what your saying, and I think there’s some truth to it, but I’ve also seen the Democrats in action, and I can’t say that I have any hope that they are going to suddenly change their ways. If they really don’t want the 3rd parties to split the vote, then they should try adopting the policies that the 3rd parties are running on.
You’re saying this because you know they have their thumb on the scale during primaries.
Not just through primaries. There needs to be public pressure for the corpo Dems to step down and make way for new leadership that is truly progressive. Trump took over the GOP by converting its base: first through the Tea Party and then MAGA.
Exactly. In my opinion the best hope for the US is that the democrats fix their party in some amount via primaries, then win next election with a strong majority and immediately reform the electoral system to something better which allows for more parties.
That’s a pipe dream, especially with current leadership. The Dem party needs a progressive takeover.
Idk, I think there might be enough people on the right and left willing to change it up and vote for a workers party instead of what we have now. It seems plenty of people are sick of barely surviving as corporate oligarchs get richer, a new party could run on that.
I know I’m ready for one. I’ve been losing faith in and respect for Democrats since the 2016 election and it’s at an all time low.
We’ve had the same 2 parties since before the Civil War. But both have been changed drastically from the inside.
That’s how it has to be done in a 2-party system like ours.
