It is not from scratch; these are an ongoing process, many decades in the making.
New groups are formed, and old groups continue to do the grassroots work.
The duopoly propaganda is what keeps the working class and poor from learning about them.
Bernie Sanders and AOC were also "progressives" until it came to the Palestinian people.
The system changes you; you don't change the system from within.
We can see this happening already with Zohran Mamdani.
Who should I vote for in the next election to help with this process? People standing up against the Democrats stance on Palestine and Israel really helped this last time.
I agree the two party system is completely broken but it's too late to switch to these new groups. Would have been much easier under a Harris term or in 2016.
I disagree.
It is not too late; organizing and growing a grassroots movement will always be required.
This lie was also told under Obama and Genocide Joe. It will not be easy under any duopoly pseudo-populist.
Third-party wins on the local level are happening, but they are ignored by the media and duopoly.
I follow this mantra:
"We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!"
I totally agree with the grassroots movements I'm part of my local one but on the larger stage no action has been accomplished and you still have yet to provide any actual actions that can be performed now and in the next election. Unfortunately we'll be locked into this two party system for the future and a third option is non viable.
Organizing the working class against the duopoly. This starts by being a part of your local community.
The main point is not voting for the duopoly and helping third parties.
Again:
"We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach."
Joining and continuing to help grow these working-class movements is the goal.
You may not like my answer, but it is the only way to push for working-class struggles.
It is not and never will be easy, but it must be done.
Appreciate the info, I'm going to keep volunteering and donating and helping grassroots wherever I can but also going to be helping thinktanks like Leaders we Deserve who are helping to shape the future of the DNC for actionable change at the larger level. Have a good weekend
I am against the DNC and RNC.
Learning about the 2016 DNC is an eye-opener.
If you can make the time to learn and watch this interview:

Thanks for the chat!
Have an awesome weekend, peace!
BlueMAGA Dems just casually pretending that 2020 to 2024 never happened.

Nah I was good in the thread until you got here. This is why the Left is such a mess, edge lords saying nobody is good enough and nothing ever gets done except the county moving more to the right. I'm as progressive as you can get, I'm also a realist knowing what we're dealing with but keep arguing with everyone so nothing gets done. Hope you find whatever it is you're looking for, cheers.
Lol, you people all read from the same script
Again would love to be enlightened in these threads but all there is is meme answers and saying every candidate ever sucks. Would love to actually get somewhere and move the needle to the left and still waiting.
