    My guy, you’re advocating for tilting at windmills as though more effort will solve this. It’s a futile, burnout strategy.

    At the minimum, ranked choice voting needs to be put in place, or we will forever be betwixt the same rocks and hard places.

    Second, a two-party system is, in itself, a failure. Progressives will never enact enough leverage from within the DNC’s grasp; they will need to form a whole new party.

    Third, stop trying to get people to pour their energy into “working harder not smarter.” Voting is not enough; the votes have to be meaningful to a larger strategy.

    Fourth, expect all of these efforts to fail until the legal loopholes allowing Corporate donations and PACs, SuperPACs, and dark money are slammed shut.

    Fifth, racism is still a core component of the cultural uphill battle faced by any/all progressive candidates. You CAN apply your individual efforts there.

    Sixth, reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, and supercharge it for modern times.
