IMO the best way forward is for this 'movement' to be spearheaded by the progressive caucus among dem leadership at the state AND federal level...Beginning from within an extant infrastructure saves a LOT of time, money and energy...However it happens its going to be a populist movement with a few central figures to 'rally' around...Remember how AOC and Bernie Sanders became rock stars RIGHT out of the box when they first showed up...

Personally I'd like to see AOC or Jasmine Crockett actually cut their terms short and focus on organizing efforts OUTSIDE of Washington...But the small chance that we will have elections in 2 years makes that not such a good idea right now. But as it is, we have no power in DC so in a way their talents are wasted there..

hard call
