Third party gets in power and then packs the Supreme Courts. Then passes vote reform and proportional voting. Then disbands the electoral college. Then dismisses the Senate.

LOOK A PERSON CAN DREAM OK!

I totally agree, but I think it’s a question of how to go about achieving that overhaul. I think the best method for that right now is to “hijack” the primaries of one of the political parties, get the old guard out, and nominate new candidates that want to see that reform. I don’t see that happening with the Republican party for hopefully obvious reasons, which just leaves the Democrats.

All the while leading up to midterms, get organized outside the party system, stage protests and strikes advocating for changes to the system. And if it’s clear the midterms are rigged, or the newly elected Democrats fail to push reform, use those same external organizations to tear it all down and probably write a new Constitution (something I didn’t think I’d be advocating for two years ago).

But right now, the most important thing is getting involved in getting organized and getting involved in the primaries. Here’s a list of dates I found: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/calendar

While I agree an overhaul is needed, I disagree about a third party not being able to have power. We used to have the Whigs, whose party was much like our Democratic establishment regarding ICE/Slavery. Eventually, many of their supporters got fed up and made the Republican Party, going on to side with the Union in the Civil War.

While I wouldn't mind the Democratic Party being hijacked by a leftist tea party, I am also fine with it getting overtaken by a new party. Both are valid options, so long as we are willing to believe in the possibility.
