    I was just in the process of responding to this that I had never heard of him, then it dawned on me. It is a problem for both major parties, to say otherwise is to be ignorant. It is part of what keeps the duopoly in charge.

    I think the Dems have been fighting hard for Corporations to keep things stagnant since 1996.

    The Dems have become Corporate Democrats and pulled the party more towards the Right.

    Many former Republicans are now declaring themselves Independent or moved in the Right side of the isle in the Democrat party, much like how the Southern Democrats / KKK abandoned the Dems in 1965, when LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1965 .

    The next show down will be between the Progressives and " Blue Dog " Democrats.

    Trump has damaged the GOP beyond repair , at this point .

    There's also prominent Democrats leaving the party, although most of the recent ones have just gone independent.

    if someone advertises themself as a republican, then it means they are stupid and useless. like voting for rubber for tires, or like voting for polution for skies. it's meaningless, except it means that such a person will be anything anyone pays them to be, or nothing at all

    As a Progressive, I am tired of the Corporate Dems " Dropping " the ball on the one yardline , on behalf of the Guardians of Plutocracy and the Donors that both parties receive monies from.
    Jump aboard the GOP ship, is futile, they've shot holes in the bottom of their boat .
    Trump is further destroying the GOP, they are in a slow motion train wreck, one that they will never recover from ....ever , unless the GOP can have a foreign enemy take hostages or form an alliance with our enemies to commit terrorism in our Country, and the GOP / MAGA will help our enemies .

    Good, that way Progressives will totally take over the Democratic Party.
    The GOP only serve the Big Money Donors and not serve the People... and it is now totally obvious to any rational voter out there.
    MAGA/ GOP are not a rational, realistic or functional people and that's why Conservatism / Fascism is going extinct in 2024 .

    By the way, Scarecrow, name the Dems leaving the party or are you going to throw things out there without having proof.
    If so, that would indicate the things ;
    1. Your a MAGA .
    2. From the Midwest .
    3. From the Deep South .

    Kyrsten Sinema, Tulsi Gabbard (who got endorsements from progressives like Mike Gravel), Andrew Yang (who honestly doesn't fit well into any party).

    Kyrsten Sinema cites Joe Manchin as a role model...good riddance.
    Tusi Gabbard....here's her rant:
    In other words, a Lonney Tune.

    Yang doesn't want to belong to any party except his own "Forward Party" which is more liberal than the Democratic Party as he promotes open primaries and ranked voting. ~ PBS


    Notice none of them registered as a Republican.

    Man, the Guardians of Plutocracy is falling apart like a leper in a bounce house .
    Look at Kevin McCarthy and the rest of the Trumpster Goof Troop, even if they ate a box box of violent laxatives in the Congress or Senate, they couldn't even pass gas , even if they attempted to do 20,000 sit-ups.

    I know many people in Pueblo, Colorado, I used to live there.
    Many of them were organizing a recall Laurie Bobert, their offices got vandilized and documents with signatures were stolen.
    So they started from scratch and got all the signatures and some.

    As soon as her people heard that, they had all the signatures to remove her, she decided to run in another district.
    In the new district that she decided to run in, she is Polling very last, double digit last.

    But which major party actually wants to end the wars and sending money overseas? It seems each party wants to end some of the wars but ramp up support for others. As you admit, they are both beholden to defense contractors. Beith4er one really cares much for civil liberties when it comes down to it. So really, they are "rivals" and have different areas of focus, but there is a reason that a majority of voters are registered independent.
