Look I know you probably don't want to hear this, but in the 2-party system of the US the best way to make space for a proper left party is to mainstream the centrist party and fully marginalize the right. The way things are now there's no air in the room for anyone left of the Democrats. The Overton window has to be shifted back to the left for that to happen.

I think you're correct, but I also think it doesn't matter because you can't get everything you want all at once. Voters need to make it clear that they're not interested in what the right has to offer. That will create space for competing offers.

I also think that what is actually happening right now is a lot more important than what might happen.
