We need a third party so bad. And to run the dnc off a cliff.
While true in spirit, first past the post voting kind of ruins everything:

The Democrats need to be browbeaten and taken over, not competed with, until we get ranked choice/alternative vote/single transferable vote, or something like those.
Brow beat? I am fully down to beat Richie Torres ass with my bare hands.
It says "House Democrats", not "DNC". These are 2 completely different groups. Nobody in congress gives a shit what "the DNC" thinks about anything. You cannot change anything if you don't know who is doing what.
You sweet summer child, you won’t ever vote again.
Don't condescend, please. We all want to pull out of this tailspin somehow.
Thank you, comrade.
I’m being dead serious.
And I'm aware you're correct, but if we can pull through this thing we can make a new system, and insulting people with "You sweet summer child" doesn't help.
Trying to suggest “everything is fine” and we can “pull through this” inspires people to sit around and wait for things to get better, when they won’t get better without action. So, do you want things to get better or do you not? There isn’t a third option.
I did not mean "sit around and do nothing" when I said 'pull through this thing'.
I meant fight like hell and tear our freedom back from the fascists by any means necessary.
But if you wanna quibble about verbiage, sure, that'll get something accomplished.
And how should we fight like hell?
2026 is not a lost cause. Bigtime blue wave potential. Focus up.
Focus up? lol. Okay.
If the blue wave hasn’t happened yet, it’s not gonna happen. And if it did—judges will still side with Trump.
Besides, since he’s now allowed to do anything, he’ll do anything to keep the power
