Too bad USA doesn't have a viable left party

Hard to have a left party when we're making new grounds of what a right-wing party can look like.

a viable left party will emerge when the republicans are long gone from politics, just the way the whigs went the way of the do do bird. i don't know why people can;t see this. it's a duopoly. everybody knows this. how can a viable third party exist in that format? yes, ranked choice voting would be ideal, but what if it never happens? vote blue no matter who until the choice becomes vote radical left no matter who. this is how you achieve change without resorting to violence.

That isn't true, actually.

Within the US' system of Liberal Democracy, the only parties that can afford campaigns are ones that can secure funding from the people and corporations with the most money.

Therefore, whichever party replaces the Republicans will be another right wing party.

Change comes from outside pressure.
