      The only pathways are direct voter ballot initiativesmin the states that have them (only 26 states do) and progressive candidates and voters flooding the Democratic primaries to take over the party.

        voters flooding the Democratic primaries to take over the party.

        And this is how you have to do it in a two-party FPtP system.

        That’s exactly how the Tea Party turned the GOP into the mess it is now.

            Absolutely nothing… hence the It needs to change bit.

            Realistically it’s the same question I could pose you saying just play the game… What exactly does picking the “lesser of two evils” net us? A race to the bottom. It’s not ideal nor does it work. The most recent election is a perfect example of this.
