"In fact, he hadn’t really been on the campaign’s radar at all. Clinton’s team had sent the DNC several other options for the post, top among them Jess McIntosh, who had been serving at the time as the communications director of Emily's List. But according to half a dozen sources, their requests were ultimately set aside by then Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was won over by Miranda’s pitch to emphasize her as the election year ramped up."

Quote :

"In a deliberate understatement, Miranda himself told The Daily Beast last week that he and the Clinton campaign did “not always agree on matters.” Months after the Miranda hiring, the DNC would bring on Mark Paustenbach as its national press secretary. Once again, operational control was not afforded to the campaign. As three Clinton campaign staffers told The Daily Beast, they found out about the hiring when the news broke in Politico’s Playbook. “We were given no heads up about that at all,” said one campaign veteran, “which goes to show you how much power we had over the DNC.”"

This entire controversy has been resurrected by someone with serious credibility problems who until a week ago was a pariah to anyone who supported Bernie Sanders. She hooked you folks by spinning a literal sob story about finding "the smoking gun" and calling up Bernie with "tears in her eyes" in order to market her upcoming book. And you all fell for it, hook, line and sinker. Marks, the lot of you.

it was a referendum on the current president

11/9/2017 2:35:13 PM

It's a small sample size, but it did show that the Democratic party isn't in total disrepair in swing states like many have suggested. I take it as a positive sign, but there's still a ton more to do. Energizing apathetic young voters is key, and so is running likable candidates with progressive messages.

11/9/2017 2:49:12 PM

The young vote for Northam was overwhelming. And he is as boring generic Dem as they come..

11/9/2017 2:52:30 PM

Well, they were energized because Gillespie was offering up Trumpism rhetoric and fear mongering. In fact, Gillespie's message actually drew out plenty of people who liked what he was selling them. It's just that young people are pretty pissed right now because they're now starting to see direct consequences in their lives (or the lives of their minority friends), and those consequences stem from sitting on their asses on election day, or voting in protest of HRC, thinking it would somehow send a message.

11/9/2017 2:59:08 PM

Hey I for one hope the Dems can pull someone great from the ashes to run in 2020. Just like I have a failed hope that the Republicans won't pick the incumbent. But how often does that happen?

11/9/2017 3:09:40 PM

John Tyler, 1844, Whig
Millard Fillmore, 1852, Whig
Andrew Johnson, 1868, Democrat
Chester Arthur, 1884, Republican
**Lyndon Johnson, 1968, Democrat
**Harry Truman, 1952, Democrat

None of the replacements won the next election. Also worth noting that all of the above incumbents became president because of the death of their predecessor, so none of them were ever elected as president in the first place. (**withdrew during the early primary run, so they technically didn't "lose" it)

The following presidents faced a challenger but still won the primary:
George H.W. Bush (1992, lost general)
Jimmy Carter (1980, lost general)
Gerald Ford (1976, lost general)
Richard Nixon (1972, won general but resigned before finishing 2nd term)

2/22/2018 6:02:30 PM

I haven't heard anything since the conference but this whole thing smells like shit. Why are they going through the destructive process of making a brand new party from scratch when a progressive party already exists with ballot access? Why would you center a movement around a single person making the entire thing vulnerable to that person's life (Bernie is old) or hijacking (joining the democrats). Partys should not be built from the top down.

What do you disagree about within the green party platform? I just read the entire platform and nowhere there or on their website do they even mention the green party, even when they talk about the history of 3rd party's. They even suggest a "green new deal" in their platform which is stolen directly from the green party. Unbelievable how shady this is unless they address what makes them stand out.

Please tell me where this platform differs? All they have done is taken green party positions and pretended like they are something brand new that America has been waiting for. It sounds like a real trap and we have a right to be super cautious.

Quote :

""The prospect of facing an empowered Green Party in 2020 is the strongest mechanism of accountability that Bernie supporters can create." -- Nick Braña"

Let me tell you a story. I was with a group of progressives that met weekly in Brooklyn in 2015 and they all decided to divert their money to Bernie because he was progressive. Most of the group registered democrat and donated a lot of time and money to Bernie's campaign. All of that money ended up going to Hillary and the DNC fixed the primary before NY even got a chance to vote. These people all lost their money and their chance to promote progressive values in the 2016 election. The ones I still keep in touch with are all green and the ones I don't really talk to anymore said they are done with poltiics. One was only 24 and has already moved to Denmark.

Why should we trust former democrat officials to take control over the "progressive" movement when they off nothing new?

2/22/2018 7:07:07 PM

Leftists who share 99% of the same goals are splintered throughout multiple third parties. Greens, DSA, WFA, etc. The goal of MPP is to bring them together into a strong, united left.

Quote :

"What do you disagree about within the green party platform? "

I agree with most of the green platform. Unfortunately, their name is tainted. People have already branded them as crazies and I don't see how they turn that around, even in the long term. And again, this is about bringing the left together, including the Greens. They're meeting with local chapters as we speak.

Quote :

Because we don't have a chance otherwise. I spoke with one of the national coordinators on the phone for 30 minutes and I can tell you personally that these aren't Democrats. I told her I wouldn't campaign for Bernie if he ran as a Democrat. Her response was "Good." Join in on the call if you have doubts.

BTW this doesn't necessarily mean creating a new party. We could combine under an existing party.

It all sounds good and I'll believe it when I see tangible actions. Until then, I'm skeptical this is just a sheepdog movement to suck up all of the progressive donations the left suppressed then with not giving the election to trump as an excuse, they will back out and endorse the democratic candidate.

My problem with his answer is that relying on drawing in conservatives to support a progressive platform is bound to fail. You are under the impression that conservatives will support anything Bernie is behind but if you simply swap out the party name they will suddenly be turned off by the same platform.

Quote :

"Leftists who share 99% of the same goals are splintered throughout multiple third parties. Greens, DSA, WFA, etc. "

This is the DNC party line. Diminish the green party by conflating it with much smaller, leftist movements. The DSA is not a party and as a non-profit organization, they influence politicians who run as democrats or greens.

Quote :

"Unlike the Green Party or the Libertarian Party or even the new “Moderate Whig Party,” the DSA is not registered with the Federal Election Commission as a political party."

What is the WFA?

You're comparing these groups with a well-established political party with ballot access in 19 states. Its not constructive to get rid of all of the infrastructure just to rebuild it if the name is the only thing different. I don't believe that is the real answer to the question. I think they are avoiding the green party because it is actually progressive.

Quote :

"Unfortunately, their name is tainted. People have already branded them as crazies and I don't see how they turn that around, even in the long term."

The same thing will happen to any new party that challenges the establishment parties. If the platform is progressive, the moderates will certainly label it as crazy. Conservative pundits picked up on Trump's "crazy Bernie" pretty quickly and Hillary supporters always told me that Bernie was only appealing because he hadn't been exposed to the right, and that we couldn't nominate him because the right would expose his progressive policies as "socialist" and he would get destroyed in a general.

Quote :

"And again, this is about bringing the left together"

*Claims to be but lets see what they do because creating a brand new group doesn't sound to me like the first step in unification. If I wanted to unite libertarians, I would join the libertarian party, not start a new one

Its funny how the same people who dismiss 3rd party candidates as "a complete joke" over a few gaffes, go on to vote for candidates who are corrupt, have bad policies, and make gaffes of their own.

There are two completely different standards. These people require 3rd party candidates be nearly perfect to get their votes but when it comes to democrat and republican candidates, their only standard is that one is not as bad as the other. I say 3rd party because Johnson was also completely written off as unqualified over one harmless statement in the same way Stein was. The corrupt, bought out candidates who said and did things that were actually harmful got all the votes.

This is why Trump is your president and also why part of me is glad because people who vote for lesser of two evils deserve evil.

I found a thread about this on a green party board. They were all talking like me. I told them that I was a member of this board and told them that a group of you were self-identified progressives who think the green party is a joke and that you can't explain why. I also told them you genuinely thought Jill Stein was a bad candidate but again, you could not explain why. I asked them what they thought about draft bernie. They gave lots of feedback and it turned into a huge echo chamber of anti-bernie anti-democrat posts. They were all direct responses to me but got kind of off-topic.

1. Greens haven't been able to win elections, apart from small local positions.
2. The Green party has a lot of internal turmoil, and hasn't been receptive to progressives taking over their party. (Green Party national leadership, on the other hand, has shown willingness to work with MPP)
3. Words like "Socialist" and "Green" are already politically charged and can turn people away before you even make a pitch.

Brana also wrote this article before the election, just FYI

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/as-our-revolutions-former-electoral-manager-this_us_582103a6e4b0334571e0a08c

And it isn't centered around Bernie anymore. Brana left Our Revolution, along with 7 other staffers, when Jeff Weaver was appointed President. They didn't agree with making the organization a 501(c)(4). Weaver wanted to take large donations from billionaires like Tom Steyer and funnel them into TV ads, and Bernie approved all of this at the time. I doubt he's coming on board.

"pitching "socialist" ideas as fiscally conservative"

Here is a good article on this topic

https://jacobinmag.com/2017/03/fiscal-conservative-social-services-austerity-save-money

Quote :

"There is a well-known theory of economics related to us by Terry Pratchett in his book Men at Arms, through a character named Vimes. The theory is basically that being poor is more expensive than being rich. "Take boots, for example. [Vimes] earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was … on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles. But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet." Fiscal conservatism is trying to get us to buy the cheap boots — and doing so causes us to spend more money than if we had just bought the good boots in the first place. Many social programs that fiscal conservatives advocate cutting have been shown to actually save the government money in the long run."

point 1 applies to any party not democrat or republican and will apply to any new party for a while. point 2 applies to any party ever. Point 3 is true but you also contradict it by saying you will sell socialist and green ideas to people by simply calling them conservative. If they are truly turned away by the words socialist and green then they will be savvy enough to be turned away when you try to trick them into thinking the ideas aren't socialist or green just because the ideas are also fiscally conservative.

THATS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF SOCIALISM IN THE FIRST PLACE. You think you are the first generation to realize its cheaper to run a government that serves the needs of the people instead of padding the pockets of a few? Of course its not attacking "working people" and of course it is attacking "the right".

I'll tell you that people who are truly fiscally conservative already agree that socialism is a great idea in theory but the problem is that you have to entrust a government to effectively carry it out which they believe is impossible. They feel that way because liberals have been so corrupt and always come up with fake solutions like obamacare that get inaccurately labeled as failed examples of socialism. Democrats have been so consistently dishonest that they think its the only way a government can function.

This is why its so important to keep pure and not to let anyone co-opt the progressive movement further. The green party didn't do that damage, democrats did by making great speeches about how everyone deserves good healthcare while working on the best deal for the industry they were taking payments from.

Playing with words isn't going to get anything done. It sounds very democrat of you to think about how words poll and that you will just change the words to win people over. It may win single elections, but it won't lead to long-term political success.

Quote :

"The theory is basically that being poor is more expensive than being rich."

This is so obvious that most conservatives would acknowledge it but say that the government has no place in trying to make it "fair". I know that is not a direct analogy but in terms of health insurance, they would say that the government shouldn't be buying cheap boots or any boots for that matter and that the cheapest thing would be for the government to be smaller by not buying boots at all. It would be a lot cheaper to let everyone buy their own boots and if they can't afford boots, well that is their fault and they have to go barefoot. Personal responsibility.

Stop trying to trick people with marketing gimmicks and commit to your actual values. There are enough people in the silent majority who are inherently aligned with progressive values. You don't need to try to convert conservatives, you just have to convince the silent majority that you are genuine and not just another politician playing with words.

A party movement whose goal is to please everyone and step on no ones toes is just DNC 2.0

I saw a Bernie 2020 decal for the first time today. As much as he embodies just about everything I politically believe, I don't think he should run again. Instead he should line up a candidate he can throw all of his supporters to who would embody his ideologies...use his personality to build support for a campaign without having to be the face of it.
