Those who wish to blow up the Democratic Party, or replace it with another party, now have a chance to make good on their wish over the next two years.

Are you below 50 years of age?

Go ahead.

This party is not progressive enough for many, not liberal enough for many, is too cozy with corporations and too cold to unions, is too prone to utilizing warfare to promote this country’s interests, and many wish death to the very infrastructure of this oldest organization of its kind in the United States.

Go ahead.

If the Green Party is what you feel to be the natural successor and replacement to the Democratic Party, join it and build it up into a political machine capable of running offices across this country. Hopefully, you can make more Gayle McLaughlins and less Jill Steins.

Go ahead.

Now is your time to build something better.

You’re gonna have to build similar networks with voters as the Democrats have, but with a different message, status quo and even culture within those networks.

You’re gonna have to organize county by county by county, and kiss some ass alongside.

You’re gonna have to practice what you demand about partisan openness to independent radicals and independent moderates.

You’re gonna have to practice what you demand about enforcing term limits, clearing the most obstinate people from leadership, and bringing the younger guns into power.

Or, if the Greens aren’t your speed, you’re gonna have to lead a takeover of your local Democratic Party. And maybe rename it to, I dunno, “Freedom Democratic Party” a la #FannieLouHamer? Do that here in GA.

Look at your by-laws and take advantage of them. Show up to the central committee meetings. Make it a long-term goal to take it over. Withstand the hours of yelling. Get your similarly-aged friends to come.

But go ahead. Take it over.

But when you start, don’t stop for anything.

One of your goals is to amend the bylaws. Another is to instill specific and broad goals for governance.

Do it.
