Is the best way to push Biden in a less corporatist & more humanitarian direction to stay within the Democratic Party in exchange for perceived (or imaginary) access, or to form another party that could actually threaten the citadels? Not saying I know the answer; I’m just asking

History favors the first option, the second has usually failed. Except on the Republican side where upstart parties occasionally have reordered the major one. Like you, not saying this is the answer; I'm just replying.

It seems to me you should form another party if you don’t want to continue to sell out your values.

There will be no revolution in a counter revolutionary party. Repeat it all day long if you need to. It’s simple, and obvious.

My work is to reform media, to make it serve the public interest & to rid us of dis/misinformation. For 20 years, Dems told me it doesn't matter. Now we see it does. Will @JoeBiden form a task force to address this? His answer informs mine to your question.

What's holding you back is your denial of the interlocking Military-Industrial-Congressional-Intelligence-Media-Academia-Thinktank-Complex. You will never know the answer until you understand the above.

Biden can’t be pushed left. Dems can’t be reformed. We need a new party or a full on revolution.
