11. Should we start our own party?

What could we name ourselves? The Progressive Party? And who would we attract? We already have a third party known as Independents. As a lifelong Dem, and I'm 60 yrs. and my lifelong Dem husband is 66, we are so disgusted with these Blue Dog Democrats. We can't believe that the Dems still have no backbone ... the existing Reaganites who aren't on life support by now will still try to crush the middle class.
