Are there no allies among Democrats in your area or state that you could work with, both long-and short term, to organize some sort of Liberal(ist) pushback among Democrats in... your state's Oregon, right?

I'm trying to rally them. Unfortunately, not many OWG Democrats left.

p.s. I live in Washington.

Now's the time, Martin. You wanna be famous?

Forge an alliance with the Libertarians. Split off and inspire a third party. Change American politics, and the world, and be a national hero.

We'll definitely be gulaging the purveyors of scorn & ridicule. I've got your IP, I think we can track you down from there.

I'm not making fun, I'm semi-serious. I see an opportunity for the newly-dubbed DINOs (liberals) to separate from the big D, and merge with the Libertarians being blocked out of the big R. Perhaps attract a number of RINOs as well.

You can't do shit with an IP address :lol: I'll send you my physical address, if you want. Come and get me.

Because libertarians don't already work to keep dems in power?

It's a lot cheaper to ban me from the forum than hiring a hitman to stop someone from giving you a great idea.

Stop being a douche, and think about it. You wanted a Big Idea, and this is a good one. You want to be recognized as a genius, this would do it.

Libertarians are democrats who object to the official party economic policy. They already aligned with the party. Did you not even pay attention last year? The entire LP was organized to hurt Trump and help Clinton.

Yes, both major parties are (obviously) not actually fiscal or social conservatives. Come up with some kind of branding, and pull the splinter groups together, into an alliance. It's going to happen anyway, but maybe Marty can jump in front of it.

Assuming, of course, that he's not on trial for soliciting murder :lol:
