We need to avoid going third party. Thinking that a third party would have more leverage

31. Alliances with liberal third parties may be necessary for nominating progressive Democrats

in major elections.

For instance, if Bernie runs, we may want to see if we can make a deal with Greens, Socialists, Independents, etc to get them to register as Democrats in order for him to have a better chance at knocking off the Third Way candidate in the primaries.

If we run a good campaign, and it looks like we have a real shot at upsetting the corporate "Chosen One", they just might go for it, and that extra 5% or more in the primaries would be critical. The stronger we are, the stronger we'll get, if it looks like we have a shot, enthusiasm will attract the positive attention of every disillusioned voter who desperately wants progressive change but sees it as hopeless.

What they'd want in return, I don't know, but we need to build a very substantial and unified liberal voting bloc if we are ever going to counteract MSM propaganda, and wrest power from the 1%.
