depends on what you mean by, " get more involved in the only party"
If you mean gut the dems and start over with 100% new leadership and without being at the behest of the rich, I'm in. Otherwise its a pointless pantomime and I'm not interested in playing along in corpo-fascist games any longer.
I love the idea. What's the first step we can take to accomplish that?
tough one. Its not something that comes up often. I'd say for starters we re-register to a new party to get some momentum going. DSA maybe.
Unfortunately then we're back to the FPTP problem. We don't have ranked choice voting, so there can only be two parties.
If we create a new one, we'll need to convince the moderates to join, and the 35% of people who call themselves Democrat like it's a sports team. That's quite a task.
The tea party tried this approach and failed. Then they gave up and infiltrated the Republicans instead. Now they are in charge, rebranded maga.
