The problem is the Democrats aren't a real leftist party. I'm done waiting for the Democrats to finally disobey their oligarch masters and cater to their voters.

More than that they're hodgepodge party. They're combination of liberals and leftist. This was okay for the most part when the little liberals, the petite bourgeoisie, was in control of the party. Because their interest usually align mostly with the left, if not totally. But starting in the late seventies and the eighties the neoliberals took over, the big liberals, the the grand bourgeoisie. So now the party is run by people whose economic and social interests are directly and violently opposed to leftists. So the party's inherently self-destructive.

Until we jettison those neoliberals, we have no chance. That's why so many people say it's time for a new party. Leave them to their old decrepit party and move in Mass to something new.

They are physically unable to jettison those people because they're responsible for the majority of the funding.

Sounds like your plan is to sit and wait while Trump runs amok. What am I missing?

The fact that it isn't safe to post about such activities online and any left wing parties that form are immediately targeted by alphabet agencies.

That's been the Democrats plan too
