    the party is hopelesslty corrupted and wont even acknowledge why they lost. Its time to dump the dems and build up a progressive party.

      That would be after FPTP voting is replaced with RCV or STAR in all 50 states. Trying a third party before those steps will hand the federal government to the GOP for the remainder of my life.

        If we ever get that, there will be a new “that would be after” to replace it. If Democrats want to stop Republicans and are so worried about splitting the vote, maybe Democrats should abstain from running.

        They’re clearly not up to the task and would rather appease fascists here and abroad.

      I love how splitting the vote cost them a few seats, and your plan is to split the vote.

        That’s not necessarily the way to “build a progressive party”.

        On the right-wing side think of how MAGA has overshadowed “Republican”, eating it from the inside.

          Hating people is easy. Caring about them is (apparently) hard. Quicker, easier, more seductive is MAGA compared to being progressive.

            Totally, but MAGA took decades to sprout from a Tea Party seed, or further back even.
