This is not a facetious question. I know I can technically ask AI but i don't think this is a simple answer TBH, as I am confused about process, and I do not know enough about US politics.

All my life when observing US politics (which I don't really do for fun) there has generally been a very visible opposition leader, you know their name their stance etc. It's the same for most major powers. But for the USA I simply do not know anymore. I get the jist there is only 2 parties but the democratic party seems like its just disappeared. Previously there was news of candidates etc but that's just gone.

What is happening? and who is the leader of the opposition now?

I am not looking for a bunch of FTrump answers, it would be great to have a discussion that's rational and not about him.

Any other party has a better chance at winning a popular vote

Not defending them, but there is some serious doubt there. Any other party, besides republicans, put up the same showing as Linux in a Steam survey. Sure it looks like they’re growing at 100%, but it’s still only 5% overall.

Until that is broken and majority of people realize there are more than two parties, your best approach is going to be primarying and change within the party.

    I agree 100%.

    I just also think that best chance is now 0%, because we know that established Democrats stand for nothing.

    Republicans stand for shitty things, but they do a better job hiding that they're just working for billionaires.

    Edit: To be clear - I will continue to vote for the candidate my union representative endorses, and I hope others do, as well.

    But I will also continue to encourage my union leaders to look outside the Democratic party to build a strong coalition.
