Why “Democrats”? Why not just start a new party?

The two-party paradigm is the model for our country’s current political system. While we agree with and often champion many third-party candidates and movements, the reality is that right now it is next to impossible for a third-party candidate to win a national election.

We want our democracy to work for Americans again as soon as possible. The best way to do this is by working to change the Democratic party from the inside out. Once Justice Democrats take power, we plan to implement electoral reform like ranked choice voting so third parties can have more power in our democracy.

The "Justice Democrats" support THIRD PARTY CANDIDATES AND MOVEMENTS!!!

What about good candidates already in Congress? Are you going to run against them?

We won’t run against candidates that fully support the Justice Democrats platform, but we also know that challenging incumbents in primaries is the best way to make them start to listen to people over corporate donors.

More of that "destroy to rebuild" bullshit.

Sarandon and Ocasio-Cortez. [View all] pnwmom Nov 2018 OP

That picture is a full-blown deal breaker for me. Bleacher Creature Nov 2018 #1

I'll never forget how Sarandon behaved at the Nevada caucuses, pnwmom Nov 2018 #2

I'll never forgive how Sarandon treated Dolores Huerta. George II Nov 2018 #58

Yes. Watching her loudly lecture a civil rights hero like Huerta--that should have been eye-opening pnwmom Nov 2018 #60

You can criticize Manchin for his policies all you want -- OUTSIDE the context of a general election pnwmom Nov 2018 #18

Constructive criticism of Democrats is allowed. Ocasio-Cortez is not running for anything now. pnwmom Nov 2018 #10

Really? That is the rule now? vi5 Nov 2018 #13

The election is over. That is the change. pnwmom Nov 2018 #17

So you're saying melman Nov 2018 #33

You can read the rule for yourself. Yes, the rule is different while Democrats pnwmom Nov 2018 #37

I already did read the rule melman Nov 2018 #38

Apparently you read it much too quickly. The rule consists of more than just the title. n/t pnwmom Nov 2018 #40

No I didn't melman Nov 2018 #43

I posted the actual rule. Those aren't my words. They're from the website. nt pnwmom Nov 2018 #44

Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? Separation Nov 2018 #72

You're the only one implicitly arguing the rule says 'bash.' LanternWaste Nov 2018 #104

Wrong. That is the title of the rule, not the rule itself. pnwmom Nov 2018 #39

Never seems to apply to anyone... vi5 Nov 2018 #47

I think the subject of the quasi-bashing is Susan Sarandon. George II Nov 2018 #59

Is being in a picture with someone an endorsement of their electoral strategy? welivetotreadonkings Nov 2018 #7

It shouldn't be cause to babylonsister Nov 2018 #23

Agreed. welivetotreadonkings Nov 2018 #64

Why is she so cozy with Susan Sarandon? NurseJackie Nov 2018 #14

I wonder if AOC has seen the video of Sarandon dissing Delores Huerta. oasis Nov 2018 #22

Or even cares. Cha Nov 2018 #66

"Will you walk into my parlour?" said the spider to the fly. Susan's oasis Nov 2018 #70

not sure that was dissing. And it certainly wasn't the bullshit that was being posted here JCanete Nov 2018 #92

True, civil rights icon, Delores Huerta IS a "wonderful person". However, oasis Nov 2018 #114

except that the discusssion wasn't about why she supported Hillary, it was about a very specific JCanete Nov 2018 #115

I imagine a young woman being courted by Sarandon would be a profound experience. Wintryjade Nov 2018 #30

Sarandon's Democrat-hating reputation had already been well-established in June. NurseJackie Nov 2018 #31

Killjoy.Why you got to point out that wasn't a relationship, she met her canvasing for her? Autumn Nov 2018 #34

Sarandon was speaking out on Trump's behalf in 2016. No Democrat should accept her support. nt pnwmom Nov 2018 #41

You are implying a relationship when there wasn't one. What about Henry Kissinger? Autumn Nov 2018 #46

He wasn't a mentor to any Democrat, but he was a previous Secretary of State. pnwmom Nov 2018 #48

Alternative facts? Autumn Nov 2018 #50

unfortunately Hillary said that he was a mentor and a friend. Caliman73 Nov 2018 #71

Haven't you ever said diplomatic things to be diplomatic? It was her job, as SoS pnwmom Nov 2018 #73

Sorry but it is more than that. Caliman73 Nov 2018 #76

Kissinger was't a Democrat who called for Republican Trump to win...that is why. You can admire GOP Demsrule86 Nov 2018 #99

Sarandon is irrelevant. I heard a Democratic message, policy, party line from AOC. Wintryjade Nov 2018 #26

I like Sarandon, guillaumeb Nov 2018 #27

I can't watch her anymore...like some of her stuff...but the site of her enrages me...so if she is Demsrule86 Nov 2018 #100

Democratic women should not be bashed for taking a picture with a supporter. Power 2 the People Nov 2018 #29

Taken well before Sarandon had established her pro-Stein, anti-Democrat reputation. NurseJackie Nov 2018 #32

nice conflation of an over 5 month old photograph with today's activist rally(not organised by AOC) Celerity Nov 2018 #52

Engaging in a sit-down protest outside Pelosi's office is a strange way to have her back. n/t pnwmom Nov 2018 #55

She didnt organise it, she briefly talked to them and told them to unify with the soon Celerity Nov 2018 #56
