27. I've been thinking the same thing
but you said it much better than I could have. I agree with your best case scenario and I think that is the best way to try to reform the party. I have been listening to all the people who say they want to change it from inside. More power to 'em, I wish them all the luck in the world, but I do not think it is possible without pressure outside the party because it is too easy for people to say, "where are you gonna go? we are your only choice so shut up". Listen to everyone say third parties only hurt________. Third parties can't win. Blah blah blah.... at this point it is not about winning, at least not for me... It is about change and reform. What good is winning if the dems vote just like republicans and are afraid of their own shadows? I want to get all those people who are sick and tired of choice between the lesser of two evils (and those who have given up all together) an option... get them engaged. All I hear is that we have to fight for those people in the middle.... Bullshit. What about the people who have given up because NO ONE speaks for them? I am talking about the people who are so disgusted that they think "what's the use?" There are millions of them.
