Let’s face it, the dems don’t care about the commoners, the republicans are actually pure evil, everyone was happy when that shitstain CEO got shot.

Maybe we should build on this momentum we have to drive actual change at the political level.

my first act as president in 2029 would be to issue a full and unconditional pardon of the billionaire killer.

edit:

well alrighty then, followup question, does anyone want to join my newly formed political party? I’m going to start working on drafting our mission statement, or manifesto or whatever it should be called.

Further Edit: I set up a lemmy community for us to post shit about it. If you want to join, that’s our official, unofficial space. https://lemmy.world/c/newpoliticalparty

    Yeah, FPTP. Im British mate. I know all about it.

    By real left, Im talking real terms, not relative to other parties.

      I answered you, mate. These parties DO exist in the US they are just really small, and this is why.

        Theyre small cause of a lack of funding and an education system and media that tells people anything left is evil.

        In the UK we had Jeremy Corbyn run for PM in 2017, in spite of a character assassination that said he supported the IRA and would ruin the country (That was never backed up with any facts…), and people saying Labour just get us in debt (Again, bollocks.), he still came incredibly close to winning, much like Sanders.

          Well I’m aware of them, however small they might be, and I support their values. I would still never vote for their presidential candidates because of FPTP.

          So I don’t think that funding and awareness are the issue. Even with those out of the way, it just doesn’t make sense to vote for them.

          You’re probably thinking I’m not a real left voter but I assure yo I read the Green and P&F voter guides every time I fill out a ballot, to understand their advice on measures and candidates, but would never, ever vote for one of their candidates in any FPTP race. It would only help conservatives.
