I've thought this for a long time, but watching this one issue has made me rethink your point. I now think you are mostly wrong, and that we need to take a different tack.
The socialism which both parties are now committed to is a tool which they are wielding for a purpose. That purpose is to replace the sovereign of this nation with a new and different sovereignty, without revolution. They have other tools, as well. Tools like "civil rights". Tools like the "living constitution". Tools like "the environment".
But it is the seizure and control of our elections, and thus the institutions of government which result therefrom, which is the root of the status quo power.
Until we exercise the latent power which we possess to reassert our sovereignty TO RULE OURSELVES IN OUR OWN NATION, the rest of it is meaningless - including the "conservative" vs. "liberal" game.
There are allies for the restoration of People Power on the Left (of course, they believe empowered people will demand more leftism). And there are enemies, many of them, on the Right.
As long as we have elections, the potential for change exists.
The form that change takes must be the destruction of both governing parties and the seating of a national unity government.
Just do it.

Well, yes. But there needs to be a little organization, don't you think?
A little parable...a hospital company I once worked for wanted to sell a hospital in its string of properties but couldn’t because its clause with D.C. stated that as long as the hospital was profitable, it had to maintain the hospital as a viable entity or sell it back to the city. If the hospital were to become unprofitable, the corporation could then close the hospital and then dispose of the property as the city would not want to deal with an unprofitable entity as well.
What the corporation did was to give the installed union at this hospital everything it had demanded in terms of health care and compensation. Then the hospital went from clearing several millions in profit each month to losing 1 then 2 then up to twelve million a month before the corporation announced the closure of the institution, all because they were able to use the greed of the union against itself!
Why mention this parable on this site? They are doing it to us on a massive scale in Washington so that the nation is bank-rupted and we are forced thru blind panic to accept a new order and reduced life style with a complete loss of rights and our loss of American identity!
Our materialism is being turned against us and we shall lose our country unless there is a massive grass roots effort to turn this situation around. We might have to do with less for a while in order to save our country!
