Ok, gonna preface the following by saying - who the hell came up with the bright idea to call a potential new party in the U.S. "The People's Party?"
While well intentioned, maybe, the name alone will invoke images of Communism.
AND I thought we had alternative parties already, like the Green Party, at least their title doesn't invoke images of Communism.
BUT HEY - for those who are curious:
https://peoplesparty.org/THE PEOPLE’S PARTY: Our vision is a major new progressive populist party that will deliver what regular people take for granted in so many other countries: single-payer health care, free public college, money out of politics, an infrastructure jobs program, a $15 minimum wage, financial regulations, and more.
We need actual representation in our government. A majority of people in the US don’t feel represented by either the Democratic or Republican parties. We’ve watched these parties turn their backs on us to answer every call of the billionaires and donors. Overwhelming numbers of Americans understand these parties cannot be salvaged. Polls show that almost two out of three Americans are now calling for a major new party. It’s time to build the party we’re looking for — one that brings us all together.
WELL FOLKS, WHATCHA THINK?
They could have picked a better name?
Sounds too far left?
Who should lead their cause? I vote AOC.
Would you vote for such a party?
AND FOR ME: Will they end up dividing the left and make it even easier for Republicans to keep winning elections?
