Sama should consider just getting behind Brand New Congress post-partisan insurgent DINOs and RINOs for these reasons:<p>- A third-party (ie Draft Bernie, Libertarian, Green, etc.) is a Catch-22 nonstarter. It sucks, but that&#x27;s the current paradigm and unlikely to change.<p>- Replacing one corrupt rep in either party with a progressive, clean-money, grassroots-focused rep makes a progress delta of 2.<p>- When necessary and sufficient reps are replaced, forming a sizable majority (which is indeed possible), it&#x27;s possible to steer leadership to do what&#x27;s right. Also, the possibility is open to leave to destroy the remaining establishment party dead-weight by forming a viable third-party from the top and majority of political talent.<p>Also worth doing:<p>- Overturning Citizens&#x27; United by state-ratified Constitutional amendment. A corrupt political process is just a reality show, not a healthy representative republic.<p>- Eliminating, or otherwise mitigating, the Electoral College to follow the popular vote.
