We need to take the Democratic party away from the weak and disconnected fools and shills that run it. Third party strategies in a first past the post system are self defeating. What this call shows is that the establishment can’t cope with strong progressives in the party. Outside the party, we just make a great excuse every time Republicans win.
I agree but do not think that the powerful and wealthy that control the DNC top leadership will ever allow for that to happen. In most other countries the DNC platform would be the conservative party. They are too captured by corporate america. We probably need to collectively walk away. There is never a worse or better time than now.
Third party strategies can not and will not work. However bad they are, the Democratic party has a stranglehold on media attention and a fiercely loyal following. Getting all those voters to collectively walk away is an insane notion.
We need an actually left party instead of the Democrats.
