The progressive dilemma : Democratic Party vs 3rd party

[martin_malin]

Should we launch a progressive party or stay within the DNC ? 

As #DemExit is trending on twitter, I'm torn. The idealist in me screams ''The hell with it, let's have our party!'' while the realist whispers ''That's not pratical. Doing so will mean Republican administrations for years to come.'' There's also the option of just not voting for Biden this time around in order to show the establishment they shouldn't take our vote for granted.

I'm curious to know what you guys think.

It has been tried before, and in general, it's tougher than you think.

Politics is a tricky game.

It's impossible. The U.S uses the first-past-the-post system. Smaller parties cannot gain any ground there. 

Unless the U.S. adopts a proportional voting system then there's no hope for voting outside the DNC.
