    That only works when running for president. Running third party in every other election is what we should be doing. Bernie Sanders is a independent. He preached on that but nobody fucking listens. Instead they think we can fix the Democratic Party (we can’t) Like police reform can’t be done.

    You have to build something NEW from the ground up. Why every local election we should be running candidates with a new party. One that actually stands for the people. Once we take over all the states. Then and only then do we run for president.

      I agree with you for places that have ranked choice.

      In states with locked down primaries and a lack of ranked choice, it’s better to run as a dem and win the primary as a dem.
