If you want an alternative to the Democratic Party, you have to take it over like MAGA did. The moderates might follow you like sheep, but they'll never switch.

Join Workers Strike Back on SUNDAY, September 14 @ 12 pm PT / 2 pm CT / 3 pm ET for our NATIONAL MONTHLY MEETING to discuss:
Democrats in Crisis: Time to Build an Independent Movement
The Democratic Party’s approval rating is in the gutter. Even Democratic Party pundits are saying that the party is in a “death spiral.” Now is the time to build a movement independent of the Democratic and Republican Parties. Join us to discuss how to build a fighting, independent, anti-genocide, pro-worker movement to end the genocide & starvation in Gaza, end all U.S. military aid to Israel, stop the deportations, win free healthcare for all by taxing the rich, and win rent control.

I disagree.
These experiments have failed and continue to fail every time; we need to learn from them.
The MAGA experiment also failed.
"Now is the time to build a movement independent of the Democratic and Republican Parties."
We need to build a working-class movement that is independent from the duopoly.
