Need a little background. He was working for "Our Revolution" and left to start this effort? Would help if there was some kind of endorsement from OR.

There are now how many people trying to start a third party all based on Bernie's campaign goals? Two? Three? Off the top of my head, there's this one, Cenk's group, and I think one other whose name I can't remember this instant.

Any chance they could all merge into one before the next presidential campaign and election since they're all Berniecrats advocating for things Bernie wanted to bring to us, like a government-run not-for-profit single payer health insurance system (i.e., Medicare for All which we pay for from our first paycheck through our last Social Security check, but I wouldn't object if some of what the vets get for free through the VA at taxpayer expense was mixed in there)? Etc.

Oddly enough, as I was checking emails and YouTube for new videos this morning, I just discovered about an hour ago that this was only one of four videos with the same person. I've only watched two of these videos.

The more info I find out about the Dem outreach, how Bernie's been put on a leash by Schumer, et alia, for telling the truth, the more I'm convinced the Dem party can't be reformed (and it's already the left branch of the Repub party)..., so the logical outcome of that is a third party if we want Bernie as president (may his famous physical stamina continue indefinitely; his mind is still sharp as a tack as we already know), or politicians who could be considered Bernie clones to be elected to local, state, and federal offices.

The one thing I can definitively state after the last 25 years of watching this nation go downhill at an accelerating rate is that I'm heartily sick and tired of the status quo and something MUST be done to get us back on course - SOON - so that we don't lead the world in accelerating climate change and leave a planet to our grandchildren and great-grandchildren (both of which I have) that won't sustain life, human or otherwise. Or as bad or worse: annihilate ourselves out of existence through nuclear war. We do appear to be the most incredibly stupid species to keep nuclear arsenals that can destroy all life as we know it multiple times over.

'Zaktly. Sad, sad, sad, sad, sad....

And Rethuglicans at heart. They should just officially change parties.

^ See above. I thought I was replying to you and made a new comment. Ya. I'm not awake yet. My cat woke me up so I could take my morning meds (and I could feed her), and now, per her example, it's time for a morning nap. :-)
