Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".

A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

I believe this will achieve exactly nothing. The whole system is rigged against the people, neither the republicans nor the democrats (aside from a few sore thumbs) work for the interest of the people. And you can bet you're bottom dollar if there ever was a new political party the democrats and republicans will work hand-in-hand to prevent this new party from taking power.

This is pretty much the Green Party platform. Problem is Americans are too brainwashed to vote for a third party. "You'll just be wasting your vote."

I think we should be making the dems fear us too.

Shooting ceos and burning tesla seems to be the only way to get heard now. I don't want to advocate for violence, but when I see dems being friendly with Republicans it fills me with dispare and hopelessness, they are the most well equipped people to do something and they treat it like another day in the office. I was so mad when Harris shook trump's hand like 'to bad about the peasants, but good game!'

I am not stupid enough to think both sides are the same, but they are not really different either.

Edit: and so people don't think I am signaling out Harris, I was pissed off when Walz said he could friends with Vance. Of course that fat cancerous blob of shit could be friends with the neo monarchist.

Any party that tries to be created with populism but ignores the materialist analyist of how we got to this point and how to combat reactionary thinking and regressivism (which is conservatism, which is why its a universal flaw) will only fall to the same tactics and pitfalls that have led us to this division in the first place. We need a true worker's parry that understands that division of power and group interests lay on class lines (capitalists vs workers) and not on any of the manufacturered scapegoat ones. Progressive ideas are popular yes, but they need to come with actual systematic analysis or they will just morph into right-wing populism through lack of critical thinking and bad actors.
