  1.  @gudmundursturluson7683  Rofl! The tea party was backed by the Koch brothers, and other far right donors that were pressuring all the Republicans in congress. There were constantly growing numbers of them. Republicans don't actually need to be pushed that hard to move further right. As you can see, the majority are plenty happy to support all out fascism. Plus, the only way a minority within a party can have any power over the majority, is if that majority is unwilling to work with the other party. If the non tea party Republicans had simply worked with enough Democrats, they could have passed whatever they wanted, and totally ignored the tea partiers. There are zero big donors pushing other Democrats to jump onboard with progressives. New congressional Dems aren't joining the progressive caucus weekly. Corporate Dems have no natural tendency to move left. Plus, the Manchin types are clearly willing to work with Republicans. Expecting similar results to the tea party would be completely moronic. They aren't, at all, samesies. Justice Dems have increased the progressive vote count. Getting enough yes votes in congress is the only possible way to ever pass a bill. AOC helped add a few more, as well. She was on the ground campaigning for Nina Turner, trying to add another. Dore slanders those progressives, who have done more for M4A in a few years than he has in his entire lifetime. And, he publicly abandoned Nina Turner ... abandoned adding another M4A yes vote to congress. Other countries don't have the same political system, or similar party divisions. The most popular third party hasn't won a single seat in congress in its near 50 year existence. The most popular progressive third party hasn't won a single seat in congress in its 20 year existence. Even if you magically got a significant percentage of progressives to vote third party, then Republicans would rule for decades to come, due to vote splitting. "Vote blue" works both ways. The vast majority of those who vote against progressives in the primaries tend to vote for them in the general. Any hope of Bernie becoming president would have relied on "vote blue" working for him. Progressives running as Dems has proven to be the far more effective way to win a seat than going third party has. Plus, you're not guaranteed a third party will only produce perfectly perfect puritan progressives. Green produced Kyrsten Sinema.
