    it’s too late to switch to these new groups.

    I disagree.

    It is not too late; organizing and growing a grassroots movement will always be required.

    Would have been much easier under a Harris term or in 2016.

    This lie was also told under Obama and Genocide Joe. It will not be easy under any duopoly pseudo-populist.

    Third-party wins on the local level are happening, but they are ignored by the media and duopoly.

    I follow this mantra:

    “We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach. If you do engage in Electoral Politics do not support the Duopoly (Red or Blue Team). No War but Class War!”

      I totally agree with the grassroots movements I’m part of my local one but on the larger stage no action has been accomplished and you still have yet to provide any actual actions that can be performed now and in the next election. Unfortunately we’ll be locked into this two party system for the future and a third option is non viable.

        any actual actions that can be performed now and in the next election.

        Organizing the working class against the duopoly. This starts by being a part of your local community.

        Unfortunately we’ll be locked into this two party system for the future and a third option is non viable.

        The main point is not voting for the duopoly and helping third parties.

        Again:

        “We should focus our actions, time, and resources on Direct Action, Mutual Aid, and Community Outreach.”

        Joining and continuing to help grow these working-class movements is the goal.

        You may not like my answer, but it is the only way to push for working-class struggles.

        It is not and never will be easy, but it must be done.

          Appreciate the info, I’m going to keep volunteering and donating and helping grassroots wherever I can but also going to be helping thinktanks like Leaders we Deserve who are helping to shape the future of the DNC for actionable change at the larger level. Have a good weekend
