In view of this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/11/democrats-defined-progressive-issues/680810/ – perhaps this is a way to rebalance US ideologies if the democratscan avoid the label of socialist progressives i.e. democrats? The Federalist Party was a conservative and nationalist American political party and the first political party in the United States. It dominated the national government under Alexander Hamilton from 1789 to 1801. The party was defeated by the Democratic-Republican Party in 1800. Democratic-Republican Party (also referred to by historians as the Jeffersonian Democratic Party), was an American political party founded by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in the early 1790s. The party became increasingly dominant after the 1800 elections as the opposing Federalist Party collapsed/disappeared. Increasing dominance over American politics led to increasing factional splits within the party. Old Republicans, led by John Taylor of Carolina and John Randolph of Roanoke, believed that the administrations of Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, and the Congresses led by Henry Clay, had in some ways betrayed the republican “Principles of ’98” by expanding the size and scope of the national government. The Republicans splintered during the 1824 presidential election. Those calling for a return to the older founding principles of the party were often referred to as “Democratic Republicans” (later Democrats) while those embracing the newer nationalist principles of “The American System” were often referred to as National Republicans (later Whigs). So I thought an answer to the article by Eliot Cohen in the Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/11/guide-politically-homeless-2024-election/680795/ would be to accelerate the split in the present Republican Party and form a Federalist, National Democratic, or Conservative political party. However: it looks like the international oligarchs are way ahead of me: the broligarchs are distinct from old-school American oligarchs in one key respect: Their political vision seeks to undermine the nation-state system globally. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/11/broligarchy-elon-musk-trump/680788/ What would Alyiakal or Dekkard do?

Both Alyiakal and Dekkard take steps to restrict the power of the plutocrats, Dekkard within the confines of the law (if barely), while you’ll have to wait to see what Alyiakal does in dealing with the power of the traders.
