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

3rds get pushed out of state elections and some don't have thirds on the ballot. We need to put enough leftists in the democrats to get ranked choice voting in states. Regular working people need to run for both State and Fed down ballot seats. Lets go for a thousand!

I don't KNOW the answer either. What I do know is the Dems have tossed the progressives under the bus the minute the polls close year after year after year

The best way is to give up on trying to “push Biden” because the oligarchy doesn’t compromise. Short answer: the second choice.

Forming a new party after Trump got 75 million votes is a sure way to reelect a GOP POTUS. Ross Perot captured 20% of the popular vote and was more of a spoiler than a threat. What percentage would you expect from the Progressive Party?

Good question ... let's add in time ... There are three periods ... 1. The Transition ... 2. First 100 days ... 3. First two years ... Transition = Gut feeling ...100 days = you'll know ... 2 years = you already knew ... (Wild Card = A Democratic Senate could change everything)

Timing is everything-January 5-Georgia Senate elections -January 20-Biden's appointments completed-April 30-End first 100 days-January 2023 End of first two years-I would twist arms between now and Jan 20, 2021-if that doesn't work-start a third party run anytime after 100 days.

Progressives and Libertarians need to get over ourselves and our perceived differences and fight together for basic ballot/debate access reform. That’s the only way to be able to answer your second question.

Absolutely go 3rd party !!! not a be all cure because there will inevitably be dishonest 3rd party candidates.a 3rd option will be helpful to rid us of wolves in sheep’s clothing. It’ll really be upon us to do due diligence in choices.3 chances for a winner is better than 2
