    Okay, so it would be near (possibly already) impossible to develop another party in the U.S. and get members inserted in enough states to be on the ballot for the U.S. presidency if there is a vote in 2028. It is possible to vote every member of the congress out by 2028. (Not quite all of the Senate, statistically 2/3rds).

    So which is easier to do, make a new party and split the progressives from the centrists and give a guaranteed win to the Republicans, or vote in progressive Congress/Senators and ensure people vote in the primaries to not allow the less progressive ones be the only members on the ballot.

    That said. If you believe there won’t be a legitimate vote again, then there is no reason to even think about democrats at this point. They haven’t controlled Congress since 2009 and Shumer is considered progressive by no one. (He can be voted out in 2028 as well if people show up to primaries).

    Whichever president/VP came in would place the new executive branch positions. Then the issue is just the courts.

      Oh I agree, and I think that voting the chumps out and replacing them with competent people who will stand by their principles and fight is the solution. There’s some real dinosaurs in office who are still legislating like this is the 1980s.

      The Democratic party is just made up of people, and those people can be replaced. It’s not the label that’s the problem, it’s the people.
