THEN FUCKING DO IT.
If the party “leaders” aren’t with it, kick them the fuck out.
I think that's what's going to happen. AOC is taking on Chuck Schumer:
Maybe if people show up to vote. The only poll that matters is in the voting booth.
Facts. It's all for naught is people can't get off their butts and vote.
Local voting is important too as is being engaged with local politics.
In these 18 states you don't even have to get up. My ballots are mailed to me. I drop them off on my daily walk at a blue mailbox.
Theres no real taking on until they start calling for a new party
The problem is that the two parties are deeply entrenched and make it extremely difficult to launch third-party or independent challenges in many states. In some states, it may make sense to run as an independent or in a new party. In others, it may be better to challenge them in primarie. I think there may even be states where it makes sense to co-opt the Republican primaries to challenge a sitting centrist Democrat. Whatever the case, you're under no obligation to remain in any party once you're elected.
