Democratic Leaders Face Backlash Over 'Cowardly' Responses to Trump War on Iran | Common Dreams

I'm not a "third party voter" guy. But between ICE and now this - Bernie Sanders has a power he could use, is definitely aware of, and doesn't.
If Bernie sanders announced that the Democratic party was a failed party he is the only progressive leader in this country that could actually form a third party that would literally replace the Democratic party overnight. At least in terms of current democratic voter approval ratings. His voice alone would build so much momentum.
I think he is too much of a liberal Zionist to leave the Democratic party. Or he's just really not who he once was. It's just a shame. He was an important figure to moving this country to the left and made a lot of young leftist into what we are today. Many of us seeing him as a right winger at this point.
The Democratic party is so unpopular. There is no better time to destroy it and replace it. I don't think it is possible to work within it anymore. What are we voting for in November when half the Democrats will still support ICE and endless war?
Edit: Can't even get someone to disagree with my initial comment. Just "you're a tankie" and "you don't understand politics". With nothing else to say about it.
Would love someone to tell me they disagree that Bernie and AoC forming a new party would not be extremely popular and why. I really would. I can be wrong. But no one has replied to what I said and I'm sitting very controversial.
Also, the irony of calling someone a "Tankie" that is literally discussing the potential of a Social Democrat forming a new party for electoral politics. That word really has lost all meaning.
