You can do what the tea party did: capture a small enough portion of your voting base that covers the margin of victory (aka: the short hairs) and demand the party do your bidding.
If they cared about victory, you'd be right. But it's becoming pretty clear they care far more about money. If they're paid to lose anyway, this tactic is utterly useless.
That'd require progressives to have something resembling spine. Good fucking luck.
Dumb doomer attitudes like this and the rest constantly plastered all over Lemmy (always by the same handful of users I've noticed) certainly isn't helping. "American" Lemmy is a small community, it's a lot smaller when you take out the bad faith "memelords" incessantly both-sides-ing and advocating for non-participation.
That's why I support candidates, not parties.
Helping what? What do you want me to help?
PS: I'm not American.
Depends, do like fascist cock shoved down your country's throat? Cuz I hate it. But if you don't, just keep arguing for electing fascists like you currently are.
