This is the real path forward - the ready potential and growing leverage of progressive independents and progressive Democrats. Made increasingly possible by progressive media and social media, the People's media at its best.
As for a "constitutional crisis" - wherein crucial gears of government lock-up and can't function - in the US these struggles are typically intragovernmental power grabs with effects that are hard to distinguish from the regular operations of the deplorable status quo.
Since the US government is essentially a one party police state with a thin veneer of democracy, the outcome of such power grabs seems to amount to a predictable amount of quibbling of typical consequence. There can be devastating impacts but this is par for the course in the normal functions of US governance - which by now in many respects operates as a sort of constitutional police state, on behalf of wealth, the owners - a militant plutocracy - a white Empire of capitalist and bigoted conquest, ongoing.
The only exceptions that could create a severe constitutional crisis might be if the one party police states becomes seriously divided within and against itself, or if the growing throng of progressives can actually begin to wrest significant power from the police state on behalf of the people. In either case, another potential "constitutional crisis" could gain real teeth and help push the country farther right into more police state tyranny or left into a more human rights based democracy.
Thus the crying need for the growing leverage of progressive independents and progressive Democrats - made increasingly possible by progressive independent media and the best of social media as the People's media. Drop Site posts like this one are crucial in this regard, as are other and similar independent and progressive media and cultural efforts.
If there are especially serious police state divisions in the seemingly uni-party police state of the US, it would be good to know and understand that too.
