        Based on what appearance?

        There’s a few polls on this every year, and a majority of Americans consistently say that the two parties do a shit job and a different party is needed.

        From last week:

        Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults say the "parties do such a poor job representing the American people that a third party is needed,"

        The problem is that no mass political alternative has emerged. Even if people want an alternative, if none exists, or there is not a clear path to building one, the status quo wins by default.

        That’s why, IMO, the most pressing task for the American left is to build the framework for a class independent, first party of the working class. We have to present an alternative that can actually be recognized as a tangible option.
