The Left did organize. It was during the 2016 election season. Bernie Sanders was on his way to warning the endorsement for presidential frontrunner, when the DNC fucked him over.
There are a lot of monied interests looking to keep the working class split and divided by prohibiting a pro-labor candidate from reaching society at large.
Ok and how come a new party wasn't created then? Sounds to me like the left is pretty comfy with the status quo!
"A vote for a third party is a vote for Trump." etc.
First past the post makes us have to play by its rules. If it ever goes, new parties will pop.
We have first past the post in Canada and five parties that get people elected.
Well, since our two countries are identical in every way it only makes sense that we could snap our fingers and do the same here.
