I know of the Working Families Party and that party has had some success either winning their own election or running as Democrats.
A major job of a political party is to organize. If a party can't organize while other ones can, maybe I shouldn't support the party which can't organize.
This kinda goes both ways though, I hadn't heard of the WFP before, and they don't seem to be particularly effective, like a mini-DSA.
it's not that they can't organize; it's that your attention is likely captured by sources that try to suppress their efforts.
Then they need different efforts to get their word out.
Also, I pointed out another leftist party which has been able to break through the noise.
you're commenting here on one such effort.
also: other leftist parties also seemed to make it through the mainstream filter too and have been later revealed to be compatible leftists groups (ie acp, cpusa, etc.) so this alone isn't the only indicator.
Minor correction on the CPUSA, it started as a genuine communist party with ties to the CPSU, but was systematically infiltrated and destroyed internally until it became a shell of what it once was. The ACP is different, it espouses "MAGA communism," whereas CPUSA is just toothless and ineffective.
