We continue yesterday’s discussion, predicated on the idea that this stinker of an election year should be a year of reckoning about the political system.

This election year, Leid Stories argues, should be a year of massive overhauling—of organization and strategy—for political movements and parties that have the potential to be credible alternatives to the two-party system.
