Am I the only one who thinks if the Democratic party couldn’t win this election it’s time for them to go the way of the Whigs? It seems obvious to me that this party has become a liability to this country and if they cared about it they would get out of the way and let a new party step up.

    Due to our two party entrenchment this will be a gradual process and likely won’t ever result in a label change… but that (D) label certainly isn’t worth much these days.

    Party realignment is probably overdue, but it’s going to come with a lot of pain and weird elections. If you aren’t prepared for a decade of chaos, it’s probably not worth trying that route.

      Have you looked around? We’ve been living in a decade of chaos and pain.

    I wish we could make a workers party (W) and have a slogan like. " put a W in congress for workers" or somthing like that

    Like if we could do local small elections first then go national we might have a chance.

    Dumbest god damn idea on earth. End the Republican party. Replace it with a real party for the Democrats, the conservative party, to lose to.

    But there’s no elections anymore so it’s all fan fic anyway.

      we’re faced with an opposition of 40-47% of reliable conservative/racist/misogynist voters, apparently.

      couple with apathy: 20 million people who voted for biden didn’t vote for harris.

      the only hope left-leaning polity has relies on the the combination of apathetic voters, liberal voters, and potentially populations further to the left.

      this is undermined by the actions of the dnc, repeatedly. How do you reform it/overthrow it from corporate democratic neo-liberal or centrist policy to really change the system? I really don’t know.

    If the democratic party splits in any way, it will never win an election for the remainder of your entire life.

    If the republican party splits between the GOP, MAGA, and the Christian fascists, it will never win an election.

    Your proposal sounds dumb as fuck. Go away.
