The left needs it own tea party to kill crap like the TPP

The Democrats desperately needs a tea party left that can shift the democratic party hard to the left, in order to get back to center. We need wall street money out and a hard turn left, will only get us back to center.

Kind of a third party without leaving the party-more just something to influence the party.

May I add, unlike the tea party, people would not be required to dress up like a 1770s colonists or hate Mexicans.

It wasn't always these 2 parties.

Look at other countries that have more than 2 parties.

He said that even if he doesn't win the nomination, this movement will continue on past the election.

The estalishment is not going to put the toothpaste back in the tube. The days of the 0.1% rule are coming to an end, one way or another.

Remember folks if you want a mix of capitalism and socialism, you have to elect a mix of capitalists and socialists.
