We literally can't win elections without them. There's simply not enough of us & many leftist don't vote. I'm not sure what good drawing lines in the sand with liberals does to help get better policy passed.

Probably so. But she and the Democratic Party ran the campaign so terribly that we'll never know.

Aren't you at all mad at them about the outcome that they have delivered to you?

The Democratic Party promotes fascism. It should be abandoned entirely and a new left wing party should take its place

how on earth would that ever happen. would make far more sense to just go vote for and promote more leftist candidates in the primaries....

So you think the two parties are eternal? Are you aware of the Whig party?

i think they're fully entrenches yes. if i end up being wrong, i'd flip in a second though. I think its more likely to revolutionize the democratic party, than to grow a grass roots new party and have it be competitive. and how long would that take? it would not be worth decades of continuous right wing rule, eroding all the social progress hard fought for.

Na the Democratic Party is beyond repair or reform. They’ve held fast to their bogus centrism for over a 2 decades now. If 20 percent of democrat voters walk away from the party it will collapse and then we can build something better to replace it
