    Democrats have political and financial capital, which tend to be powerful assets in running a successful campaign. Any new party needs to:

    1. Inform the general population that they exist
    2. Inform the general population what their platform is
    3. Persuade the general population that their platform is desirable
    4. Convince the general population that they’re capable of implementing their platform

    These are not trivial tasks, made more difficult without a track record or money.

      Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

        You could also just vote in any mix of dems and indies to get 60 votes needed to pass the H.R. 1 For The People Act and also undo the damage caused by the Citizens United decision.
