One week after the Democratic and Republican national conventions, people from all walks of life came together to discuss forming a major new party in America. More than a million people watched students, labor leaders, scientists, journalists, academics, comedians, activists, nonprofit leaders, and a former Democratic presidential candidate address the nation at The People’s Convention.

The historic gathering was covered widely in the mainstream and independent press and was nationally trending throughout the full five-hour program. At the conclusion of the Convention, attendees overwhelmingly voted in favor of, “forming a major new political party free of corporate money and influence in 2021.”

When the pandemic reached our shores, the Democrats and Republicans spent trillions of dollars bailing out Wall Street but refused to bailout the people. As a result, more than 50 million Americans applied for unemployment and small businesses were devastated. More than 40 million faced eviction and child hunger reached record levels. The corporate parties had turned the pandemic into a depression.


So in July, we brought together a coalition to demand that Congress pass an emergency People’s Stimulus, including Medicare for all and $2,000 a month basic income. Together we led more than 50 marches and honking car caravans to the homes of members of Congress and Senators across the country.

I see a lot of fibbing going on here.

Why didn't he, like, do public option and student debt relief (something about it being an Easter egg)? Something about the public option being a compromise but Medicare for All is the compromise. That Democrats don't plan on using their majority for anything. Corporate Democrats. Now some Republicans are talking about forming another party. The Squad should totally leave the Democratic Party and join the People's Party and then they'd have leverage and all the good things like fifteen dollar minimum wage and Medicare for All and everything would happen. Democrats steal and rig primaries.

That's as far as I could go without:

These Peoples don't know how anything works.

President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Come on, man. Instead of just accusing Biden of breaking promises, they could get people all freaked out abut World War III. Oh wait, Joe isn't ... you know.

Here we go again, ya didn't do it fast enough.

In the midst of a PANDEMIC the whine is loud. We had thousands dying every day. Thousands. Thousands of moms and dads, grand dads and nana's dying alone. Their kids died because a maniac that was elected by some people lied. They died. President Biden stemmed that flow. It ain't over yet the curve is flattening.

Then here ya go, just like Obama. He stemmed a financial downfall. Watched a few minutes (YouTube). Right off the bat, saying Biden broke promises.

Where is my pony! You promised me...you promised.

Why didn't he, like, do public option and student debt relief (something about it being an Easter egg)?


Something about the public option being a compromise but Medicare for All is the compromise. That Democrats don't plan on using their majority for anything.


Democrats don't plan on using their majority for anything. Unfucking believable. I have more to say but can't continue tonight. These people are blind and incredibly naive or just plain stupid.

and paid off by Wall Street, corporations, lobbyists, the donor class, billionaires. We know where that lie started. It wasn't Republicans.

These people are gullible, don't know anything, refuse to do the most basic research. Us vs Them must give them a cozy sense of finally belonging to a group. Enemies are very important to group identity and Democrats are the enemy.
