At what level do we get actual progressives/a left party in the USA?

The one where progressives start actually engaging with the levers of power by pursuing leadership positions in the Democratic party, consistently putting forward good candidates in the primaries and actually showing up to vote for said candidates.
2 2 ReplySo what is the plan after they do that then get shut out immediately?
Need ranked voting and money out of politics but neither party will allow that
3 1 ReplyHow about we try actually doing something first instead of immediately declaring defeat?

Electoral reform at the state level so people can vote outside the two party system with no spoiler effect.

4 6 ReplyYes the ones flooded with money are busting their asses...
And that doesn't work when the left party works hardest to break anything thst would move the party left.
So at what point do we get actual progressives in? Or at least finally get gop and dnc to merge so an actual party can take their place
