Time to break free of traditional political ideological labeling and divisions. Time to abandon old, divisive sociopolitical labels like "liberal" and "conservative".
A new political party based on a vastly, commonly held virtures lends itself to embrace over 66% of Americans, and it clearly embraces progressive principled thinking. In the most ideal American sense of unity, a political party should not be able to be defined or placed as "to the left" or "to the right" of where the Democratic or Republican parties currently are. Just let it exist organically based on present-day principled thinking. The American Progressive Majority.

It's difficult, not impossible.
I actually did an in-depth analysis of this over here in lemmy.world/c/progressivepolitics.
TL;DR version:
It would take roughly 1.1 million signatures to get on the ballot in every single state. That's just .05% of registered voters.
It would require building a local infrastructure to support state ballot access, but it's doable. There's a void in state and local politics that progressive candidates can fill, and if there's a unified party organization backing them, there's a real opportunity to take the ground the the democrats have surrendered.
