Sadly we are still dealing with that today. The votes on my comment show that. Can't even get anyone to actually discussed what I said.

We are still living with so many Democrat "progressives" that never learned what that word meant. It's definitely a split between the people that wanted to vote for a Social Democrat offering no wars and free healthcare. Vs. more neoliberalism but with "the first female president".

There are still a massive amount of people that never learned progress beyond identity politics capitalism.

It's a reason the Democratic party needs to die. For every "vote blue no matter who" person we lose we'd get 10 alienated and non political people excited to vote for a candidate that will lower their rent and healthcare costs.

I don't think a third party is possible. But I do think if Bernie and AoC were behind it that would be the best chance. Especially now. With BOTH parties somehow at historical low approvals at the same time.

All I meant in my original comment. That no one seemed to understand.
