    Another comment cuz I want to elaborate the problem is the Dems are controlled opposition. They pretend to be leftist and say they want to do the right thing but they never do. They’re always a couple votes short or just somebody turned on them or something always goes wrong. Obamacare was even a right-wing idea that came out of the heritage foundation. That’s why it sucks.

    So solution we need an actual left-wing party. How do we do that without majorly screwing ourselves?

    The only way I can think of outside of a violent revolution is slowly gaining control of a third party election after election to the point where it’s a viable contender and can win.

    The only alternatives are violent revolution and continuing to pick the lesser of two evils and continuing to have the most important election of our lifetime so far every election. We need to do better. We need to organize.

    Being complacent with where we are, especially with enabling genocide will only put us on the chopping block eventually.
