Trump protesters plan to build ‘tea party of the left’
A movement to be securely held together by diaper pins.
 [POLITICO] The protests that have roiled American cities since Election Day aren’t going anywhere. But rather than Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... , the first political casualties they claim may be establishment Democrats. Leaders of the groups organizing some of the first outbursts of direct action in response to Trump’s surprise election are making plans to take to the streets through January’s inauguration and beyond. In frantic behind-the-scenes phone calls, text messages and Slack chats, they’re also planning to channel the energy unleashed last week into electoral politics, starting with Democratic primaries, to build what one organizer called a "tea party of the left." "Our big goal is to support primary challenges against those Democrats who negotiate with Donald Trump," said the organizer, Waleed Shahid, a veteran of Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... ’ campaign who is working for a group called AllofUs, launched in September. The approach mimics that of the tea party, which has used bully boy primary bids to unsettle establishment Republicans and drive the Republican Party rightward. Posted by: Fred 2016-11-17 |
