PSL has tried it but the fact that you, and many other people I've met, don't know about that is proof it's not working super well. It's a great recruitment tactic, it gives them an excuse to go out and talk to people and knock on doors and say their thoughts in debates, but I don't see them being successful anytime without some major changes in American politics.

    It probably doesn't help that if you know about PSL then you are more acutely aware of how the electoral system works and how much of an impossibly long-shot it is to create a third party in the United States.

    Bingo. States can just shoot down these parties, cali has done so I believe or make ridiculous voter thresholds and fundraising/advertisement restrictions that can vary differently from county to county even, like New Jersey for example. People misunderstand how much people it takes to do the books for these kind of projects.

    On top of all that, ANTIFA is considered extremist material, so any party that actually gains popular support can just get hit with terrorism charges. Reform has no hope.

    Maybe the enthusiasm has died down a bit but there have been discussions on which party to join and that kind of thing. There have been some electoral successes on a local level like kshama sawant in Seattle and Green party representation on Oakland City council. This country is cursed though
