Personally, Gaza and his anti-railway workers union action was enough to destroy any credibility he had so far.

Is it better to build an entirely new political party vs vote for the better of two candidates in the 2024 election?

Depends on the direct ways in which one party is better, by how much, and what will materially change.

Your imaginary new party does not and will not have a candidate in 2024 so that isn't a relevant proposal.

PSL does exist, and Claudia De La Cruz is on the ballot representing them. If that's all that is necessary to be a relevant proposal then I implore you to suggest PSL to your friends and family.

The easier alternative is to work in the primaries to get a candidate you prefer into the two-candidate race.

Sure wish there was a Primary I could have voted in, and I sure wish the DNC had any good candidates to begin with.

Might it be better to build a new party instead of that? Depends on how you think the new party will be received. Maybe.

PSL has been recieving increased support at a rapid pace.
