Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich?

Let's face it, the dems don't care about the commoners, the republicans are actually pure evil, everyone was happy when that shitstain CEO got shot.
Maybe we should build on this momentum we have to drive actual change at the political level.
my first act as president in 2029 would be to issue a full and unconditional pardon of the billionaire killer.
edit:
well alrighty then, followup question, does anyone want to join my newly formed political party? I'm going to start working on drafting our mission statement, or manifesto or whatever it should be called.
Further Edit: I set up a lemmy community for us to post shit about it. If you want to join, that's our official, unofficial space. https://lemmy.world/c/newpoliticalparty

It exist already. Join PSL
i would, but they appear to be tankies who support the NK government and the CCP. I'm very against those failed worker states.
If you want a new leftist political party you are going to have a hard time finding one without leftists. It is also worth questioning why it is you agree with the state on those points. What makes you think they would not lie and slander their enemies?
Do you know why they do, and can counter their reasoning? Why do you call the PRC a "failed worker state" despite 95% approval ratings? I suggest you start with theory before trying to do something new with no foundation. I made an introductory Marxist reading list, if you'd like.
Get the hell outta here.
What happened on June 5 1989 in Tiananmen square?
What kind of pivot is this? What are you trying to accomplish, here?
Because I don't deal with dumbass tankies who simp for pooh bear and his little brother Kim.
I have to agree I find PSL disappointing. In their long history they don’t seem to have put even a dog catcher into elected office.
It's a revolutionary party, the focus is not exactly on elections
Then it’s a dumb revolution. No new human system can arise that doesn’t use remnants of the old. Observe the current revolution happening in the united states. The MAGA fuckers are putting their cronies into positions everywhere, with the clearly stated purpose of destroying our current system.
A revolution that envisions a clean start untainted by what came before is the revolution of a naive child.
Revolution doesn't mean throwing the entirety of past society away, but changing whose hands its in.
Exactly!
Then I don't see why you are disagreeing with @sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml here.
Because PSL does not seek to get people elected, I question their usefulness as a revolutionary force.
PSL brands themselves as a political party. The only purpose of a political party is to get people elected. The track record there speaks for itself.
A revolutionary party that focuses on getting people elected is the opposite of a revolutionary party. The purpose of a revolutionary party is revolution, ie organizing the working class so that it can carry out a revolution.
I suggest reading my introductory Marxist reading list. Without theory, it's easy to come to incorrect conclusions.
