The next step wouldn't be abandoning democrats, it would be getting democrats in power, getting rid of the republicans (because they've provably turned into an enemy of the United States of America), and then creating an actual left party, and having the democrats become the new right wing.

For at least 5 minutes, I'd bet, we'd have a sane right wing.

    This. We need to move the country to working for the people. The way you do this is by consistently voting for the best representative of the people. You don’t need to start by having the perfect option. If the most progressive candidate is a Democrat, even if they aren’t progressive, you vote them in. When the fascist consistently lose, then that democrat is the right wing which frees space for a more progressive candidate.

    Leaping to a perfect candidate would be amazing. Taking steps in the right direction is still good and worth our energy.
