John and me attended a zoom by Workers Strike Back where the call for third party was loud.

The speakers were Jill Stein and Kshama Sawant.

There is a fair supply of third parties out there, ready and waiting, including the ones of Kshama and Jill.

We sat there wondering how the greens and Socialist Alternative chapters must feel having their own leadership just joining the chant for a third party, after years of organizing, creating platform, waiting for voters to see them.

The rhetoric should change now from "needing a third party" to actually supporting a third party.

We suspected, after the zoom, that much like the high you get from drugs, the normalcy of a day to day life in a straight up third party is not as emotionally satisfying as the high from calling for change.

The New Democrats have been around since the 1980s. They are way, WAY past their expiration date. So far past it, in fact, that they make the British PM Liz Truss, whose term could not outlast a head of lettuce, look fresh and new.
