    Tell you what, you go ahead and raise the infrastructure for a Left Field Party with a positive program of goals and strong brainworm-free candidates. If you gather enough support, you can elect midterm Congresspersons with whom the Democrats will have to form a coalition (the Wrong Wing certainly won’t) in order to accomplish anything. This may also draw the Dem Party as a whole toward the left, though some swing districts may react by going completely Wrong in the next election.

    Whether you can make any real changes in American politics is going to depend on the oratory skills of your candidates and an organized positive program for them to present.

    Just sniping at the Democrats for not succeeding against the Grand Old Cult isn’t helping yourselves or anyone. And turning people off voting for the less-bad party in November is just sucking Trump’s dick.

      I understand I’m shouting into the void.

      Having 99% of voters comprised of sycophantic devotion to an objectively failed party is a barrier no one can overcome, unless you’re a billionaire.

      With that said, you are objectively trying to tell me that re-electing the people who did nothing about the fascists is magically supposed to entail stopping the fascists. It’s a lie and it’s silly.
