The DNC cited a procedural concern, but Hogg said it is “impossible to ignore the broader context” of his criticisms.

    I agree. We need time to build a leftist party or to fundamentally change the Democratic party. I’m not opposed to completely rewiring the Republican party if it’s a faster option.

    We can get more time by voting for the least fascist option. That way we won’t be sent off El Salvador while we’re trying to fix things.

      There have been such attempts over the previous 120 years. They were all failures because of structural reasons.

      or to fundamentally change the Democratic party

      Yes that would be fantastic and definitely needs to happen. And it will happen sooner or later. The problem is that we need much more “sooner” and much less “later”. We only have so many years to live.

      I think the brands are too toxic at this point.

      Like 70% of people say they want more third parties that actually care about the things they do and don’t like the Duopoly.

        Yeah, I agree. I think first past the post has not been good. That’s what forces us into this two-party system.

        I would vote for a third party if it became more popular than the Democrats or the Republicans, and it was progressive/ leftist.

        The problem is getting it over that hump.
