We should focus on changing the existing party by offering up quality primary candidates who are more interested in service, than being serviced on their way to the top.
Have fun practicing insanity.
The rest of us are done doing the same old shit and pretending it will be better next time.
Next cycle you guys will end up choosing between a Lenin and a Stalin and we will hear the same stupid crap being dished up right now about how 'there is no viable third party' and 'we need to work to change the existing party'.
Horseshit.
At some point declaring independence and starting over is absolutely necessary - and we are WAAAAAAAAAAY past the time of doing so. Unless of course, you are happy being slaves, of which I assert most of this people are content with being.
As long as cable, beer and porn are on tap. As Pete said above, if Stalin came and offered free HBO to the masses, he would win in a landslide by a majority from within both parties.
