Media/social media are owned and controlled by the oligarchs in the US. Getting a message through that firewall in today's America is exceedingly challenging, albeit not impossible. They all pander to their special interests rather than report news. The more fringe ones like The Intercept tend to be a bit too fringe, which damages credibility on a wide scale.

It would have to be a new movement with a new media broadcast platform, hosted somewhere secure and hardened. Probably not in the US, with routing contingency to get around the US government attempting to block them. Not new tech, just something that isn't owned by oligarchs or have a tainted reputation.

Would have to be organic/word of mouth at first. Really hard to get traction that way these days. Again, not impossible. Just challenging.

It's do or die. People don't realize that. I think a lot of people are passively submissive to just letting things die. Everyone is burnt out.

Nationwide, over 99% of the legislative offices (state and federal) are held be either a Democratic or Republican. Only the two major parties have nationwide ballot access. Only three minor parties have ballot access in more than 10. A third party won't be viable nationally until we have ranked choice voting everywhere. They won't even be viable at the state level without it in that state. Not all states have direct ballot initiatives. That will only happen through ballot initiatives or the major party in control of the state adopting it. Only 26 states have ballot initiatives.

Put that effort into ballot initiatives in the states that have them, and into the Democratic primaries nationwide, until we have ranked choice. Then we can have more than two parties.

I hope it's not just him trying to get his voters to vote for Neoliberals again.

This is one of those comments where I didn't realize how badly I needed to read it until I did. This kind of support from the countries our dictator is actively alienating is extremely beneficial for morale. Thanks!

You have a point if you're talking about Dems as a whole, but both Sanders and AOC have been pushing to stand up since the beginning. They are definitely not on the list of people sitting by the sidelines and letting it happen.

I hope you start following AOC's social media from now on if you still think she lacks the energy or whatever. She and Ms. Crockett have been killing it for a long while now.

I seem to remember lots of pro-Bernie energy in 2016. Voting for Bernie would have been much more satisfying than voting for Clinton, at least for me and many of the people I personally know.

The same day they spoke at a rally in Greeley which is a red city and the crowd was 10,000 out of a city population of 100,000

They have support in both red and blue counties and cities.
