If a neoliberal party can't win 2 out of 3 elections against a fascist, maybe they should pivot away from neoliberalism.

To what exactly? Neoliberalism is left wing in this shit hole.

Don't say progressive. If that was popular there would be more than two states that have a progressive party.

I think that's a false premise. Third parties are virtually always losing propositions due to the structure of our elections. In a race of red versus blue, if an orange candidate enters the race and some of the red voters vote orange instead because orange more closely fits their preferences, then blue wins with 40% of the vote when 60% of the electorate wanted a warm color.

I'll also point out that Obama campaigned on a message of hope and progress to two victories.
