      Maybe announcing a new party is premature, but at least talking about steps to realistically forming one would be huge. We need a revolutionary overhaul of our 2-party political system, and I posit that most Americans, those that voted and those who didn’t, would agree that 2 bad options is not a real choice.

      The binary creates the illusion of choice.

      Due to political entrenchment it’s more reasonable to change the DNC from within.

        The ones that are in charge will not allow anyone that is a threat to their authority or power to mount any attempt to change the party.

            Looking through their history, they don’t seem to be a tankie. ClassStruggle keeps talking about forming a left party in the USA and running for elections, which is a bit too reformist to be a classic tankie.

            In any case, they’re right in this case. The Democrats expend way more energy during the elections fucking over anyone on the left than they do actually resisting the fascists.

        Thinking like this is why you are where you are with all those nukes. Form a party. Let more parties form. Ditch MSM and CSM (Centralised Social Media) and let the people decide.

        If you want to have a country without kings, you need to be prepared to have absolutely no daddy on any front, including parties and media.

        They’ve tried and failed which is why it’s not worth doing. Democratic party is part of the Nazi agenda

          I think we haven’t tried all that hard. We haven’t even elected more than 50 DNC since 2013.

          If we want to elect young progressive new democrats then we have to…

          elect new democrats…

        Well… Considering that following the election, it was the third largest party by popular vote… It worked wonders for the Reform Party.
