Wish they'd start a party
That's the last thing any leftist should want. A new party would only serve the GOP by splitting the vote.
Before we can have a viable third party, we absolutely need election reform.
Step 1: Take money out of politics. Overturn Citizens United and outlaw PACS. Ban Congress and Senate from having any investments. Taxpayers already pay for everything for them.
Step 2: Throw out the Electoral College because it does the opposite of what it was intended for.
Step 3+: Senate reform, ranked choice voting, redistricting to un-gerrymander, recall elections, and other basic democratic practices.
