Sama should consider just getting behind Brand New Congress post-partisan insurgent DINOs and RINOs for these reasons:

- A third-party (ie Draft Bernie, Libertarian, Green, etc.) is a Catch-22 nonstarter. It sucks, but that's the current paradigm and unlikely to change.

- Replacing one corrupt rep in either party with a progressive, clean-money, grassroots-focused rep makes a progress delta of 2.

- When necessary and sufficient reps are replaced, forming a sizable majority (which is indeed possible), it's possible to steer leadership to do what's right. Also, the possibility is open to leave to destroy the remaining establishment party dead-weight by forming a viable third-party from the top and majority of political talent.

Also worth doing:

- Overturning Citizens' United by state-ratified Constitutional amendment. A corrupt political process is just a reality show, not a healthy representative republic.

- Eliminating, or otherwise mitigating, the Electoral College to follow the popular vote.
