You can always do something but its efficacy will vary. For example, spinning up a third party candidate a week before the election would be pointless.
If you look at my post history on Nov 5 has several posts on starting a third party. Right after the election would have been perfect. A lot of runway to find candidates, push them into the spotlight, have them lead the protests against Trump.
But we were understandably numb.
The second best time was after the inauguration. The third best time was after the first protest. The fourth best time was after the second protest.
We’re about 8 months before the first primary. We could start a third party after the Labor Day protests.
With me being out of work, I’ve given serious thought about starting one here locally.
The time to do something different always seems to be some other time than now.
Yep! Especially if the dogma is “3–4 years ahead of the next election” while having one every 2 years.
Building a party doesn’t mean aiming for victory right next election. It takes time. It will take a lot of time starting from now, or from next year.
The best time to start it was before xxx. The next best time is now.
