even if Biden gets out of the dem’s way, I do not see a world where the dems produce any viable character/candidate to sufficiently match the freak of Trump with all that has been gifted him by the universe this year even a Hail Mary of Dwayne Johnson—probably their best chance—has a 99.999999999% failure rate

Yep. Our best bet to build a political movement to rival the neoliberal duopoly is is with the Green Party, and really with an expanded leftist alliance of our various existing groups, on the Green ballot line. To win against fascists you have to have a vision of a better world and convince people's it's possible. Dems can not do that. The election is only a small part, we need a broader united working class organizing together.

Third parties (green, libertarian, whatever else) will NEVER be viable with the way elections are currently conducted. The two party system is an emergent property of first past the post voting. All the energy that's being spent building third parties should instead be spent lobbying for ranked choice voting. Once that's in place, we might see some other parties become relevant.

It has to start at the local level. Running for those small offices in city and county governments to start building connections and a career resume. The left keeps limping along trying to survive election-to-election, but the far-right we have gaining power now did so strategically over decades, placing their people in those low-level positions and supporting them all the way up the political ladder until they had enough power to take over the party. Those of us on the left could learn from that long-term strategy.
