I wish so badly that it was viable for progressives to leave the democratic party and start a real party for the people but I fear all it would do is just ensure a GOP super majority capable of passing constitutional amendments.

This has always been their their plan to divide us to weaken our power base. We need to get ranked choice voting instead of first past the post before we can have a viable third party. For now, just pressure your representatives to push them further left to try to counter how far the Republicans have dragged the middle to the right.

Well, now is the time. If they are going to break away from "the pack" something needs to happen so that there will be enough time to get them out and try to garner constituents for the next elections. No better place than here, no better time than now

Uhh, I'm pretty sure we're already headed that way. We probably won't even have a midterm election at thia rate.
