It’s way more feasible for progressives to take over the existing Democratic party like MAGA took over the GOP.
If you think things are rigged inside the democratic party, it’s even worse for third parties.
In anything like a competitive district, a progressive Independent challenger is more likely to split the vote for a milquetoast Democratic incumbent and hand the seat to the Republican challenger. Working within the Democratic primary system has its challenges, but also clears the field so that there’s one clear choice for left-leaning voters rather than two.
First past the post sucks ass, but it’s what we’ve got to live with until we’ve got enough power to change it.
We need a progressive tea party
I remember when that was the plan in 2016
That turned out great!
We meed to burn down the Duopoly, remove every boomer from power, and never look back.
Unfortunately, a lot of the shitty people in Congress are GenX. I’m so disgusted with my generation.
Yeah, I can accept that. I guess what really meant was fuck the current Dems that are so clearly complicit in whatever the GOP is doing and maybe even more Zionist. If they can be overhauled to the point they can, and do, get big money out (repeal citizens united), repair all the gerymandered districts etc. then sure - go Dems. I know that’s a huge ask, but it’s what’s needed.
