My letter to the CPC and Sanders

As in, Congressional Progressive Caucus, as follows. Sanders is the only Senator who is a member.

And it's also time for progressives to leave the corrupt Democratic Party. This election cycle has highlighted more than ever that the Dem Party is beyond repair and will never implement the sort of reforms I see the CPC propose year after year, also defeated by not only the Republicans but also the corporate Dems. There is also quite a people's movement for a new progressive party as well, which has been galvanized by Sanders' campaign.

It is getting a lot of social media press as well, e.g.  Chris Hedges on the socialist alternativeBrand New Congressa lasting progressive movementJill Stein's letter to SandersLerner's Love & Justice Party to name but a few. I'm sure none of this comes as a surprise to you. And I hope the CPC as a whole is seriously considering leaving the Democratic Party and starting a real progressive party. You have to know you're going to be set back even further by another Clinton Presidency, likely destroying any future hope of seeing your agenda realized.
