Highly negative email from The People's Party, bashing EVERY Democrat in the House and Senate....
...including the Squad and Senator Sanders.
Posted as an FYI for DUers to see how negative and divisive they are. They are NOT Democrats.
ABCDEFG,
The Democrats’ Build Back Better Act is a weak piece of legislation that doesn’t even begin to address the sweeping issues facing American families. Every iteration of this bill has failed to address domestic needs like the housing crisis, universal healthcare, living wages and climate change.
What began as a paltry bill has now been gutted beyond recognition. Spending has been slashed in half, dropping from $3.5 trillion to $1.5-2 trillion, and eliminating what minorly effective policies it had. What remains is a shell of ineffective, corporate and temporary crumbs.
The global economy and this country is still reeling from a pandemic and depression and our representatives just presented one of the weakest social bills in American history, taking us backwards.
Contribute $10 today to help us build a major new People’s Party that will hold its representatives accountable to the policies that the majority of Americans are demanding.
This bill has proven even further that there are no progressives in Congress. The Squad and Bernie Sanders are towing the party line by touting Biden’s horrible bill instead of the policies they rightfully said we needed just a year ago. They have drastically lowered the bar that they ran on and promised to the American people. Real change will never come from the corporate parties.
“Progressives” were supposed to push Biden. Instead they’ve lined up behind him and sold us on his corporate agenda, just like progressive Democrats have for decades.
The mainstream media and the Democrats pointing to Senators like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema for obstruction of this toothless bill is just a distraction from who really pulls the shots.
The finger-pointing from both Democrats and Republicans serves to mask the fact that their typical band-aid legislation stems from the real party that rules Capitol Hill — the corporate party.
Every single member of Congress toes the corporate line. Gone are the days of demanding Medicare for all, housing as a human right, and a federal jobs guarantee. Forgotten are the fights for working infrastructure, college for all, and a Green New Deal. They’re just like every other politician, promises every campaign season that go forgotten the moment they have the power to make change.
Millions of American voters are changing their ballots to independent and the majority are sick and tired of the status quo and caricature representation.
Right now the People’s Party is gearing up in states across the country to garner ballot access and reach millions of voters. Can you contribute $10 today to help build a party that will not do politics as usual but make real, lasting and sustainable change?
Thousands of volunteers are working across the country to build the People’s Party. A major new party that will demand an end to half-measures and weak policies. We deserve better.

some folks here say we need to have a parliamentary form of government ("To break the 2 party system that gets nothing done"
and we have posts like this ("Fuck third-parties" .
Which is it?
BTW, the ground is fertile for the potential explosion of a 3rd party.
While I will probably be branded a heretic: both political parties have drifted too far from the center where the majority of Americans are. Unless one (or both) drift back towards the center, it is only a matter of time before a highly charismatic leader will appeal the middle and drive him of herself to the White House.

Only if one of the existing parties goes extinct. I believe that's why the "burn-it-down" philosophy is so prevalent among those extreme parties that want to sabotage and destroy the Democratic party.

Really? You believe that the Democratic party is "too far from the center"? Ridiculous!
What I'm trying to point out is that when people say things like that, it's coming dangerously close to a declaration that "both parties are the same" and that serves no good purpose at all.
Its funny
Yeah, it's "funny" all right. Hilarious. 
It's jarring, seeing how the BBB has devolved. But how would you go about putting a positive spin on that?
....merely an "organization".
They tried to get Turner on next week's ballot for the OH-11 seat but forgot to register as a party before the deadline. That's why she ran in the Democratic primary.
Here's how they worded it in their press release:
It’s official! Sen. Nina Turner is running for Congress. She’s running for the seat vacated by Rep. Marcia Fudge, who Joe Biden has chosen as secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The People’s Party isn’t on the ballot in Ohio yet so she will have to run as a Democrat.
They're now registered as a "party" in a few states and will be running candidates for Congress next year.
To give the breadth of coverage and following they're getting, a couple of months ago they conducted an online "National Call". Here's a screenshot of it a half hour into the 90-minute call. The number of people online is at the bottom (keep in mind, I was one of those 3!
) :
Here's the next one in September - 19 people online!
