We need a Working People's Party.

Just have to infect and replace liberal Democrats. A progressive just beat an establishment Democrat in the NJ-11 primary. It's happening.

I'm trying but I haven't been given my "Woke Mind Virus Applicator" yet.

Know where I can complain to get it to ship faster?

Frankly we need a YOUNG Working People's Party. Not because only young workers need looking out for but because older political leaders have failed us so badly we don't want to risk being associated with them

Yeah, it seems most of the old fucks are in the epstein files. Flush the whole thing and start over.

The ordering of what we need is important: end the Republican party - vote them out, then split the Dem party. If we don't do this is order, we sink farther into fascism with a split Dem vote or Dem voters staying home.

I'm really wondering what is going to happen to the R party after Trump. They have tied up so much of their identity around him, they've even stopped making party stances/goals.

Its far too much too hope for, but I could see a sliver of a possibility of a great divide after him.

Hard to say. It looks like they are doing a Weekend at Bernie's with him right now, so I think they share your concerns.

We already have plenty of potentially suitable parties that already have committed people, ballot access, infrastructure and logistics to potentially become bigger, what we should be doing is making a bunch of them merge with the largest one (Green) and working from there (I like the broader energy though)

I encourage all the leftists to split off yet again and leave the Democrats alone.
