I would love to, but what the hell are we gonna do? Starting a new nationwide party is practically impossible and. (Intentionally so, of course)
And as much as we can point fingers and say “the people can fix the two party system” we have seen on multiple occasions that without major election reform that simply isn’t the case. Most of the country’s voters are older, and as we have seen today and yesterday, most voters would rather not vote at all than vote outside their party’s lines. The only reason third parties are even allowed to exist in the US is to either give the illusion of choice, or to spoil elections (as some argue happened in 2000, on top of all the other things fucked up with the 2000 election)
I think the strat would be too found a new party ( let’s say American Worker’s Party AWP) on the state and country level.
Get in the state parliaments.
Later, if the party is established, get as many seats in the senate and the HoR as possible, but don’t touch the presidential race until it’s actually realistic.
