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

There is so much corruption & dysfunction within both parties that we might have to form a new party to really progress. Then again lobbying & superpacs could ruin that new party so it’s not about what the people want but who the party is indebted to.

I’ve read your tweet twice and I have no clue what the hell you are asking. My middle school students had better communication skills.

Progressives need to join @PeoplesParty_US but go in understanding that this will split the Democratic Party & guarantee Republican rule for at least several election cycles.

@DNC will never give up their hold on #Democrats. Their #corporate agenda will always control their members. The only hope for #progressive policies is to support #thirdparty candidates.

Continue to build the big tent of the Democratic Party

You need people who are doing both, Marianne. In a Science experiment, sometimes people take more than one approach and simultaneously. Different roads for the same ideal outcome. If the playing field of people and powers were just about neck and neck, you'd have your answer.

Biden can't be pushed left much but he can be punished politically in elections for not doing so, mounting a resistance from within the dem party. Until ranked choice voting is passed, it's the only viable way

Centrists and progressive dems need to work together. Forming another party will split the dem ticket and give you another trump in four years.
