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.

I never told anyone to get third party candidates elected. Whoever told you that was either maliciously giving you bad advice or is clueless as to how the American electoral political system works.
maybe you personally didn't, but every time that somebody mentioned Jill Stein or Cornel West or de La Cruz, they were told that they weren't viable because they didn't have any support in Congress or other elected positions, so you have to vote for other people for president.
like I said, it's never the right time to get rid of the Democratic party.
It's not about whether it's the right time or not. The fact is that under the current political system it's simply not possible. The system is designed to prevent it from happening. You can't get rid of the Democratic Party until we get rid of the current political system first.
Also, if we're wishing for things that won't happen without overthrowing the political order, I'm much more interested in getting rid of the Republican Party. You know, the fascists who are actively black bagging people on the streets and sending them to a foreign Slavadoran labor camp where we supposedly can't get them back from.
I can't believe voting for Democrats is going to help with either endeavor
Granted, but my top priority at the moment isn't getting rid of the Democratic Party. It's the fascism of the Republican Party. History shows us pretty clearly that a fascist movement has never been defeated without leftists and liberals finding common cause in opposition to the fascists. Every time fascists have lost in history, it's been at the hands of a popular front of leftists and liberals working together. Literally every single time. And the inverse is also true. Literally every time fascists have taken power, it's been by dividing leftists and liberals and getting us to fight against each other while they take and consolidate power.

if you want to unite, find something to do besides vote, and I'll see you in the street
I've been in the streets. Where are you?
I've been attending various demonstrations, protests, and actions for nearly 20 years now. Ever since my early 20s (I'm 38 now) I've made a point of attending at least one protest every month, in addition to other actions I take part in. Lately, that's been closer to weekly than monthly. I cook for my local Food Not Bombs and sometimes help distribute (although my work schedule makes that difficult).
I vote, sure, but that's 2 days a year, at most. That's an incredibly small part of my political engagement.
nice. food solidarity is my jam.
