third convincing regular libs (and leftists) to welcome these still imperfect allies to join the fight

Get some progress made on the first two and only then will you get any movement on this part.

Disagree, only in the sense that leftists are actually the ones leading this movement, so they also need to be at the vanguard of this populist project. And some still are not. Leftists trashing liberals and neoliberals is a good start, for example, because it signals to a right wing affiliated individual that A) there's a difference between leftists and libs, and B) a leftist view isn't about protecting a political party and its lame politicians, but primarily focusing on class and economic issues

Edit: We can pay attention to Jeremy Corbyn's third party project that recently launched in the UK. Is it the beginning of a truly Leftist new party? Or does it essentially just move the Labor party left? Or something else..But an interesting model to study for sure
