Right?

There are way too many whiny children on this platform thinking they need a brand new party to vote for instead of doing what's actually possible and morphing the Democrat party, since much of their policy already matches what these whiny children want.

A new, viable party isn't happening in this country anytime soon. Probably not in our lifetimes. The answer is forcing the Democrat party to change, which is 100% a thing that can happen.

    The policies match on posters but not in practice. All of the policies you want only get brought to vote when it is impossible for it to pass against a Nazi majority and then disappear when opportunity arises.

    ANY candidate who has been in Washington for 12 years or more should be VIGOROUSLY primaried...for example Adam Schiff, who has become yet another Pelosi- styled career milquetoast shitlib.

    It might be now, because nothing is possible anymore, but before current round of shitsow, amazing amount of smaller bills and propositions were passed, they weren't flashy ones (and that's why there were passed, under the radar), but it helped immense amount of people. Everything big, like medicare for all, requires so much more work, it was never possible to do in that short periods of time US government wasn't overwhelmed by reactionaries.
    But that's all that people can actually achieve, for now.
