MODERATORS
We the People, endeavoring in an ever more perfect Union. Establish the Progressive Party of the United States. Party members will emphasize the value of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. As these are understood to be the foundation of Freedom.
For too long, has outside influence driven our politics. We seek to end Citizens United. The only money in politics should be our own.
The Two Party System, must come to an end. We shall seek to have Ranked Voting in each State of the Union.
We will seek a tax rate of no less, than ninety percent. On the wealthiest in this Country.
Higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, along with a robust corporate tax reform. Will provide the necessary funds to enhance our existing infrastructure, and new national projects.
Of these projects, are the creation of a High Speed Rail Network, and heavy investments for public sector research into AI and Fusion technologies.
We believe that a strong military is needed for defense. However, wars of aggression and conquest are counter to the peace that we seek.
An educated populace, is a strong populace. We will seek to make higher education, available and free to all People.
We believe that we are a part of this world, and shall seek to restore and maintain our relations with our long term allies.

Maybe you can get Jill Stein to front it
We'll be on the Democrat ticket for probably a decade or so, and help clamp down on these fascists. It doesn't make sense to do a fracture until things are well under control.
"Democratic ticket"
Not: "Democrat ticket"
I sincerely don't think the U.S. is going to make it a decade, but props for your optimism
This is hoping for a best case scenario, the worst case would fall to other groups.
Tbf to op, it's always best to have more than one plan in place
valid, and at least some part of my crusty black heart is thankful that at least someone is thinking of a time beyond authoritarianism
