Has Bernie built a big enough coalition to form a viable 3rd party?

Not for the presidency or senate but perhaps for house seats in select ultra left districts

who is "people?"

Do the math.

The Progressive wing of the Dem party, a decent % of the 50% of the country that currently can't be bothered voting.

Bernie forming a 3rd party with AOC and their followers would effectively ensure the Republicans run the country

And I'm sure Hillary will then call them Republican moles

Uh, they already run the country.

That's not really true.

I obviously disagree. lol

Any party formed by Bernie would consist of 90% people who would normally vote Democrat and 10% GOP voters.

It would be bad for both parties and hand Republicans anything they wanted.

It would be crazy if that person ended up being some unqualified joke candidate like Trump, just a leftist... some goofy celebrity or social media personality. I could see someone like that picking up steam if they were charismatic and went super hard at Dems and Repubs and had their own version of Trump’s wall...maybe single payer healthcare. We live in crazy times.

Exactly, I actually don't see a politician who fits the bill. A lot of Trump's appeal to Rethugs is he has charisma. I can't even front he's fukkin' funny. When he made fun of Hillary collapsing at the 9/11 memorial ceremony I was crying.

We're not counting the House anymore?

OK, and how does the Speaker run the House as a resistance to Republican legislation or gives them what they want generally speaking and says she will do better in the future because Mitch McConnell promised?

Cynthia Nixon isn't the one to lead this movement then.
Progressive platform points poll well, we need someone who can effectively troll both parties who refuse to give people what they want.

Breh, it could be a lot worse if the House was also controlled by the Republicans.

The House doesn't exist to be a resistance to the Senate. They're supposed to work in tandem.

Laws recently passed. A lot of these were sponsored by Democrats Quick Search

Third parties are stupid unless we change how votes are counted.

You need either parliament or ranked choice voting.

First past the post just helps who you don't want to win.

That's why you have to work on the local level first. Then state, then federal.

That video is too simplistic and only speaks on presidential elections.
