Now's the best time. Maybe even have a few candidates in for the next election cycle.
it;s been 2 months and look at the damage done. there's no way in 2 years' time that they won't have completely fucked the elections so that they can just overturn the results they don't like 100% legally
not with this level of education and apathy. you make a new party, for everyone who's heard of it, there's going to be a thousand who haven't, and even if they see your name on the ballot and like you they'll just vote dem because they're gonna think that's what they should do.
remember that Google search for "did Biden drop out" peaked on election day, lots of people found out only when they saw the fucking ballot.
I personally think it's better to do it now than hear people bitching about needing an alternative to the DNC's kingmaker moves during the next election cycle. Just introduce the party and its candidates in some strategically selected districts where progressive policies are being demanded.
