    People want someone who will reform politics, get rid of the two party system and get billionaires and corporations to pay their unfair share for decades of exploitation of workers.

    They will even give up their individual rights and vote for Trump to try and get it.

    Now is the time for AOC, Bernie, Walz and Whitmer to form the SPA (Socialist Party for America)

      Issue is a 3 party system is only going to give us a far right wing party, a right wing party and a centrist party that has to vote for right wing party or the far right wing party will win. A 3rd party won’t help. Election reform has to happen first. The only thing we can hope for is a progressive movement inside the democratic party. That sweeps then getting election reform. Then we can get ranked choice or whatever system .

        So I wanna point out that while mathematically with FPTP a two party system is inevitable, which two parties aren’t decided. They can and do get replaced.

        The democratic party has been effectively blocking the progressive movement since the bill Clinton days.

        People have shown they are ready to vote against the establishment. Just look at how many Democrats and Independants voted for Trump.

        This 3rd party needs to go strong left and not get baited into a compromise party.

      Unfortunately it seems that some people don’t want to get rid of the 2 party system. Here in Colorado we voted no 55 to 45 to switch to ranked choice voting. I’m very disappointed by those results.

      She’s already a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

      The SPA was renamed “Social Democrats, USA” in the 70’s.
