I just knew the comments were going to be us tearing each other apart.
I’m just thinking out loud here. What if Progressives that are registered as Democrats changed their registration to independent? Also, stop sending them your money. We could organize it to happen over one week. Then keep it that way for 30 days. See how much power we truly have. If we can show the Democratic party that they would never win another election without us, maybe they would be more likely to listen.
We have to be careful though, I know this President is running roughshod over the Constitution with the blessing of SCOTUS and Congress but they don’t have enough votes or State legislatures to amend the Constitution. If they get that, then that truly is the end of this experiment.

I mean, honestly, if you manage to coordinate action on that scale, you’re probably better off either attempting to take over the Dems or start a third party entirely.

Next election isn’t for a year and a half, and there’s no guarantee that it’ll mean anything. If you want to try anything radical in electoral terms, now’s definitely the time to do so. The chances of failure substantially changing our position is… low, unlike previously.
We just saw Progressives not voting for Harris, which lost her the election. The Democrats ignored that.
The good part is that the Democrats have no plan right now. So if anything Progressives should register to primary in better candidates. Also donations, but to individual candidates. This is why New York mattered so much. If Progressives can win, then it is a huge problem for the neoliberals.
