    Respectful distance? They been trash talking that boy nonstop since his primary.

    TBH, the rift in the Democratic Party has not been laid so bare since Gore.

    I really dont know what AOC, Swalwell, any of these left-of-center dems think they are going to do sitting in a party that routinely sabotages any pro worker, pro humanist, any effort at competent and efficient social programs.

    They should have announced a new party the second the presidential election was over. Already to late to prop up midterm candidates.

    I see their only option now is registering as independent, -or else continue to be humiliated, invalidated, and silenced by the wall street cabal.

      I think you should study the US political system more. They see the most realistic path to making change. If the Left can’t wield one of the two parties it will never wield the state.

      No third party will ever have a chance of being successful. The Dems and Repubs wrote the laws to make sure of it. That’s why they can’t.

        Not even just that they wrote laws to protect their status: A two party system is in and of itself prone to issues like what is currently going on. George Washington knew that, and warned about its dangers. Because it has happened multiple times throughout history.

        What? Nader? Perot? Stein?

        Truth is, nobody has ever tried. And we just saw in New York that a populist message can actually beat the money…

          Christ some of you are dense. OF COURSE ALL THREE WERE LOSERS, THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PARTY SABOTAGE CANDIDATES.

          Ergo, nobody has really tried.

          I don’t know that What guy, but the other three lost. Stein repeatedly (if we pretend she was trying to win and not leech votes from Democrats). You are providing evidence against your case.
