We need to swiftly transform No Kings from a Democratic Party spectacle to a grass roots resistance movement.

    Look, the most third party senators the USA has ever had was 11 in 1899. Even when the parties dissolved or rearranged it was always Demcoratic Republicans v Federalists, Jacksonians v AntiJacksonions, Democrats v Whigs, Democrats v Opposition, Democrats v Republicans.

    Last congress there were 4 Independents and it lead to Republicans sweeping the 2024 election.

    This is a two party system. One of them wants a King and the other does not. Democrats are the only way to progress. The only way. Singular.

        But the only way to get Republicans out is voting for the DNC. Otherwise you’re splitting the progressive vote because the DNC are progressive, despite claims otherwise.

          Yes, that’s the order it has to be done in. And once GOP is out and voting is reformed, you can introduce better parties

            Okay, good, it’s just that certain crowds are in here advocating we don’t vote for the DNC and I wanted to make sure we were on the same page.
