  • Rule #1 Branding, don’t choose a dumb ass name (tea party? libertarian? WTF!) And don’t use acronyms. Make it short and simple. And look up the damn word to make sure it doesn’t mean something horrid, embarrassing, childish, etc. Choose something new that no other party on Earth has done. Simplicity, that is successful branding.

    If you actually intend to have a progressive, liberal party that propels the US forward and cares for it’s citizens, you need to make sure you create a dialogue, a proper relationship where candidates actually listen, and DO what they said they were going to do. Not a bunch of liars who get elected and just get rich.

    And the last thing I’d like to add is policy. You need people who will fight for the real needs of Americans. And not constantly settle for a faint shadow of what was expected. Public Healthcare for all citizens, Medicare for all. Affordable medical expenses, with price caps and public lists of costs before you get treated. (No one walks into a restaurant, orders food, and leaves with an $80,000 tab. Wow, denny’s sure got expensive!) Tax corporations, the wealthy and churches. They need to pay their fair share. This is the welfare fraud that is happening, not taking away food benefits from SNAP recipients. Social Security should be a requirement for everyone to pay into, no income cap, no exceptions. Properly staff & fund the CFPB. Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment Pass a non-discrimination and hate-speech bill for all citizens. Everyone deserves the same Human Rights. Never back down on this. Require our Educational system to teach civics again, as well as more science. We need less dumb people. Pass laws preventing criminals from becoming President, or the head of any Federal Agency.

    I could go on and on, but the point is, a progressive party needs to actually hold the values of progress. Settling for less is what the Democrats have done. And the GOP is just dead set on making America be run by a bunch of christian nationalists. Stop pandering to religions and start screaming Science. You need reliable information outlets that report facts, not the media monopoly we have now. We need a BBC (UK) or an ABC (AU) so we can actually enjoy normal things. Make PBS or a new network funded by taxes so the news is actually neutral and factual, and required to be that way by law.

    That’s my 2 cents for now.
