    100% - the Dems are a fundraising organization, not a political party.

    Sure it will benefit us to be more politically active, but we need to put that energy into a new party. The Dems will not save us.

      Please leave a detailed message explaining exactly how you propose to come up with a viable 3rd Party when the 2026 midterms are in sight?

        Please provide a detailed message explaining how you plan to escape the repeated cycle of voting in fascists and then voting in fascist collaborators.

        One method would be an Article V convention to get rid of money in politics, abolish the electoral college, get rid of FPTP in favor of ranked choice voting, and mandate a fair and impartial redistributing system which must be applied nationally before the midterms.

        Essentially, our last shot at a “peaceful revolution”.

          Hold on.

          First line “One method”

          Last line “our last shot.”

          Pretty quick self contradiction.

          Besides, the 2026 are about 17 months away. There’s no way you could convene an Article V convention in that time.

          Sounds like you just don’t want to admit you haven’t got anything practical to suggest.

      That’s the point of voting in primaries. To change that. That’s how the republicans got turned into a maga cult. We need to follow that example to uncult our side.
