(221 posts)Incremental change is good. Well, about time you came around to getting on board with the Democratic party's values.
Lets be clear though, Barnie is not getting in the Whitehouse, not this election and certainly not the next. There is no 'critical mass' to form an individual party because your movement is ragtag and bobtail: Its made of the privileged who often can't be bothered to register and vote and think activism is facebook likes and spamming right wing links on forums. Real activism is borne out of necessity, not want.
Any American movement of any worth especially liberal MUST centre around POC and minorities. They are an increasing percentage of the electorate. Your movement can't be a white one and is stillborn without real diversity, not the diversity made from double counting and fake stats. Think of how to get these people on board before you tell anyone of your 'demands' and projected worth.
Until then, the post is so much salt and grandstanding.
