    The democrat party cannot be reformed. It must be destroyed. As soon as libs realize the middle class isn’t even being served by these antidemocratic ghouls, maybe we can have a real third party. I don’t care if it’s greens DSA or PSL (of course, PSL all the way) but as it stands the Dems are a death knell to progress

      Forgive me, because I don’t disagree with the goal. But it seems naive.

      The democrat party cannot be reformed. It must be destroyed

      If we create a new party in the exact same electoral system why should we be any more optimistic of it working out this time?

      As soon as libs realize the middle class isn’t even being served by these antidemocratic ghouls, maybe we can have a real third party.

      Right, and as soon as the capitalists realize this third party is gaining traction over the dems they’ll stop trying to buy and lobby democrats and instead try to buy, coopt, and float their own candidates in this new party while pumping huge amounts of money for their preferred candidates over ours.

      Are the democrats the root problems, or are the democrats/Republicans both a result of the means in which we discuss politics being monopolized and owned by huge capital?

        Very good points here. And I agree, within electoral politics there is limited room for change. The system needs to be dismantled. Something something the state and revolution…
