Following the 2016 election, it is quite clear that the corporatist model of the two main American political parties isn't working. Donald Trump, a populist Republican, beat out Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton in a near landslide, according to the electoral college. This is simply due to the fact that Clinton was heavily elitist and pro-establishment; a major turnoff for working-class America, and rightly so. Therefore, several leaders in the American progressive movement, including Kyle Kulinski from[i] Secular Talk[/i], and Cenk Ugyr from [i]The Young Turks[/i] have helped organize a grassroots progressive movement within the Democratic Party; the same movement that popularized Bernie Sanders and his Presidential campaign. Here are a sample of the Justice Democrats' platform 1. Universal healthcare 2. A $15 nationwide minimum wage 3. Tuition-free public college for all 4. Fighting climate change 5. Strong support for freedom of speech and opposition to censorship of any kind This is likely the future of the Democratic Party, with tens of thousands of likes and pledges of support since it's inception, just 5 days ago. The future of the Democratic Party is likely a party of the people, by the people, and for the people; a party that stands up for ALL Americans, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, race, sex, or income. In dark times, we must stand together, and fight for what is right, and I believe this is a worthy cause to take up.

  • lol at everyone commenting about how liberal policy is too expensive. Hey guys I found some money: Turns out we're at war constantly, the few states that have legalized are raking it in, AND we still have shitloads of insane tax breaks for corporations on the books. Did you know we subsidize florida sugar just to shit on Cuba? That seems old. Guess it just sat there on the books while we cried about PC culture and immigration. Wonder how many things like that there are? Anyway I found some money that we spend on dumb shit (war, corporate handouts) which we could use, and also we could make some more dough by legalizing... Huh? What do you mean unlikely? Who is Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III? Is that a cartoon character?
