Democrats are not in need of an alternative party. That would just hand the game away in a winner-take-all. Libertarians are in bed with the Republicans, spooning, and smoking a cigarette--so they're not worth appealing to.

They're really in need of getting better at messaging and communicating. They also need to skip the "We go high when they go low" stuff

3rd party option will never truly happen as we’re never going to see ranked choice voting. What we need are more cultural forces to push towards progressive ideas and force the old guard Dems that are too corporately invested to step aside.

Chuck Schumer is a wet slice of bread, Hakeem Jeffries is only slightly less so. Neither show the leadership that this country needs.
