That’s not a constructive approach. Doing nothing just means Republicans completely disasemble what remains of democracy in the US.
We need a new party that isn’t the Green Party. The Progressive party. Anyone left of center.
Why not just orchestrate a takeover of the Green Party? Then extract concessions from Democrats in exchange for not running.

If Democrats are so damned serious about making sure Republicans don’t win, THEY can stay out of the race.
