We've gone so far right centrism means putting immigrants in US labor camps instead of foreign ones.

They won't. Democrats have always said one thing, but not followed through; because real change would lose them money and status, and free Healthcare. Any change that would effect the lobby bottom line, effects their bottom line. We need to Abandon the Democratic Party (the organization part)
No, we need the Democratic party... Or their corpse at least
We don't have time to build the infrastructure and entrench a third party. That shit is extremely complicated and takes a lot of time and money.
There's a perfectly good one already, with name recognition and the right branding. It's just dickless and full of shit
So let's tea party it and take it over for the left. We just need a large enough progressive faction to force them to cooperate and actually do what the people have been screaming for
Hang up a big "under new management" sign and actually do things, and there you go... We get a party on the left again. It can be done next election
"Guillotine party" was snappy sounding but I think you're onto something ,maybe we should be the "Weekend at Bernies party" instead, where the corpse is the old Dem party.
Part of the success of the tea party was the DNC constantly pushing the party to the right. And as they pushed rightward the RNC kept going further to the right. No one that's a potential threat to the party or party leadership are ever given any positions of power to threaten their existence until they fall in line.
Giving everyone free healthcare would not take away their free healthcare. That logic does not follow. The rest is accurate.
Just create the Labour Party already!
Call it the Conservative Party and make the rank and file Communists and Anarchists.
Nah, fam. The Labour Party has also become a neoliberal turncoat.
