    So, what are y’all going to vote? Is there a truly mainstream-left alternative? Maybe that third party already exists, maybe somebody saw the sign of the times and started one?

      For state and local offices? If you are in a blue state likely several. But in red States like here no. Worse they are wanting to gerrymander to get rid of the few non Republicans were have here.

      At the national level our only hope is primarying Democrats to force a non corporate puppet. There is no math in presidential elections that allow 3rd parties to contribute to anything useful. If we have elections again. We need solidarity whoever the candidate is to keep the fascists from office again. But a constant push to make national leadership irrelevant will still be needed.

        I recently heard how hard it is to even establish a party nationwide. Each state has its own rules, and you really do want the party in every state.

        My vision was that maybe there was one that went through all that rigmarole.

        But don’t get me wrong, come election time I’ll support whatever has the best chance of getting Trump OUT and at least promise to undo ALL the damage.
