A "two party system", moreover one consisting of the two same parties since 1876, is the empirical evidence for a definition of an *undemocratic* political regime.

A "two party system", moreover one consisting of the two same parties since 1876, is the empirical evidence for a definition of an *undemocratic* political regime.
Is it any wonder then that the internal lives of both parties has never been democratic, and never will be so long as the *regime* is not changed, a change that will flush both parties down the toilet bowl of history?
Regime change, however, is only contemplated by the Right, not the Left or the trade union movement. No wonder only the Right is presented as the "party of ideas"!
Where is the Democrat's Project 2025, their comprehensive policy agenda for the next 4 years? Oh, that's right, I didn't think of that, they have none! For the Party tops know that if they had one, their big money - read capitalist - donor stream would be shut down. That's why.
Though there is no harm in tossing stuff out there in an ad hoc manner, such as Federal rent control, or BBB, of the Pro Act, safe in the knowledge that these will *never* pass the beating undemocratic heart of an undemocratic political system, the US Senate.
So it is time for the Left to start thinking out of the regime box. And if anyone on the Left comes back at this, as they usually do, by saying "Well, smartass, what's YOUR plan?", let it be known that the immediate response will be, "No, what's YOUR plan for regime change!".
You who represent the large majority of the Left, the majority of the Left that is in the Democratic Party, are the only ones that can develop an outside the box plan.
The (should be) obvious starting point can be indicated at this time. The Left needs to begin building, NOW, a pro-democracy movement for real regime change in the USA! That is the only direction forward.
The Left needs to begin, NOW, regardless of who wins in November 2024. In a special note, if the Democrats somehow squeak by, AGAIN, there can be no going back to political sleep, only to wake up to the same nightmare every 4 years. This must be a pro-democracy movement en permanence!
"Democracy is coming to the USA" prophesized Leonard Cohen. He understood the issue in his own way. Now is the time for us to at last come to the same understanding.
