Progressive Politics

I think you can leverage votes for change, but that also requires somebody negotiating with Democrats like a union boss.

Probably a good idea to really start putting together a platform for 3rd party candidates right now. I've seen ads for a few people running for the midterms and they are definitely not getting started too early.

A 3rd party candidate with enough name recognition could be a good bargaining chip to light a fire and finally scare Dems out of complacency. If not, they're probably beyond redemption and should be replaced anyway.

That's how the fringe voters of the right became the modern Republican party's base. Think about what you could actually achieve when your shared goal is to progress society towards a more equal and just future rather than to micromanage it back to the dark ages.
