The Great Paper Chaser
They were smart enough to ride the tea party wave.
The democratic establishment is fighting the progressive wave.
Has Bernie built a big enough coalition to form a viable 3rd party?

Democratic voters don't want a resistance to a majority Republican Senate?
Skip the Covid bills 3, 4 and 5 on the list is nothing people are really crying out for are they? They aren't representative of the will of the people.

If Jon Stewart ran
If we had nation wide ranked choice voting, I’d say yes.
With first past the post, hell no.
And Bernie’s 35% of Dem primary voters in this go around isn’t going to mass exit the Dem Party. And Bernie himself has made it his priority to work within the Democratic Party. He’s done it for his career.

Because the people decided that the tea party is the wave that they had to ride with, on the other hand the people have decided that the progressive wing is NOT the main wave to ride with.

There are a lot of uninformed voters.
That's why shyt has to start at the local level.
Both main parties rely on name recognition and branding.
When people go out to eat fast food, they stick with the name brands.
A third party would have to penetrate local elections and then move up.

Its called the green party.
The reason it's not viable from Sanders is that contrary to twitter/social media, the overwhelming majority of bernie supporters are typical Democrats who will vote for the Dem nominee, but just happen to be further to the left primarily on economic issues.
Most of the talk about there being a divide that cannot be healed is nothing but social media amplification. It is fukkking stupid to think that bc thousands of ppl on twitter are talking about NeVEr BiDeN, that it reflects reality when EVERYONE KNOWS TWITTER IS FULL OF BOTS/shytPOSTERS/TROLLS. Same as thecoli. Look at all of these threads, especially in TLR, it's all a bunch of white boys who came here when trump started to run. ALl of them have some bullshyt profile pic that is what a white person thinks a Black person would use. Or it's some outright subliminal racism.

So in your head the House as it is as good as a GOP ran branch of government?

Not exactly, but if the House is all we are holding up as a reason to continue with weak ass Dem strategy, no it's not enough. Let's add locally most governors and state legislations are also Republican.
The Republican light strategy is not working. Do the opposite of Republicans , if they are the corporate interest party let's be the worker's party and let's relentlessly hang our hat on something worthwhile like, infastructure, education, healthcare, fukkin' something! What issue are Dems willing to go to the mat for? Like, "Fukk political calculation we are about ___?!" Nothing.
At least Republicans have that albeit it is bad stuff like deregulation, racism, women's right not to choose. But they at least show conviction albeit on very negative things. We need some conviction on our side. Dems have 0.
What has the tea party accomplished?
Freedom caucus been running the show.
It's sad seeing you all double down in the echo chamber.

progressives shouldn't form a third party, they should continue to move the dem party to the left.... this includes more progressives winning at the local and state level....
what progressives really need more than anything is media..... right now, progressive media is mainly online media like tyt and secular talk, etc.. even cenk had to admit when he got crushed in his house run that online media is not powerful enough.... conservatives like the koch brothers, rupert murdoch, and others have spent decades building media to influence people... sinclair is taking over tv stations all across to country to promote conservative narratives.... progressives have to play the same game... progressives have to push their message into the ears of would be supporters day and night... where is the progressive fox news... the progressive msnbc? the progressive cnn....? it doesn't exist... it has to built and invested in, then minds can be changed....

i think it's a great idea 
progressives are gonna keep getting disappointed when the democrats nominate a moderate. why not just break off and form a new party?
someone has to do it eventually to rid us of this disgusting two party "rivalry", why not progressives?
