I'm working on it. Maybe. Well, one day. Like when other Left of centre, anti trump, anti corpo type folks oppose the things I oppose in correct manner and degree, duh.

I agree, but only because the media is so tightly controlled by the ruling class.
If a new media platform broke out that they did not have control over, and a reasonable left third party took control of that platform, and many people ran to it, basically if, you know, you could win the lottery twice while being struck by lightning and getting hit by a falling meteorite, then a third party could actually emerge and win.
But with them owning Twitter and Facebook and Reddit and Instagram and WhatsApp and every single news station on the planet, there's just no way to communicate what the world could be like to the people who would vote for the better world.
I wish this were true. But then we have winner take all elections in the US so any third party is virtually impossible. It's private party A run by billionaires or private party B run by billionaires. The sooner we all know this for a fact (and it is a fact), we can start figuring out a way out. But talking in circles about an impossible scenario is counterproductive.
UK also has winner takes all elections, yet "third parties" have substantially more traction over there.
