Hi Qasim, The history of third parties is DISMAl. I cannot think of anything, in my lifetime, that they have accomplished except wekening the two party system YES the Democratic party has failed abysmally to rise to the occasion. We need new leadership. Has anyone asked Chris Murphy who he thinks would be good? He would be great but we cannot afford to lose his senate set. ONWARD! Stuyvie

I am convinced that had Bernie accepted the Green Party offer to head their ticket after being denied the Democratic nomination, he would've won in 2016. It takes a very popular prominent person to make a 3rd party viable, & at this point none has decided to form a separate movement, a 3rd party, or coalition of existing progressive minor parties with independent progressives & Democratic progressives, which otherwise could be very effective since there's a gaping hole on the left side of the ideological spectrum, as both of the major parties keep drifting rightward.
I think Chris Murphy would make a great minority/majority leader for the Democrats. So would Jeff Merkley, Cory Booker & perhaps a few others.
