A plan to draft Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to lead a third party has been launched by progressives who are frustrated with the Democrats, the Washington Examiner reported.
Ahead of what is being called the “People’s Summit” in Chicago this weekend, the progressives say Sanders is the choice for a new political movement. Sanders is scheduled to speak at the summit, the website reported.
“The majority of Americans are progressive and want a major new political party,” said a report by progressives in advance of the meeting.
The 15-page report, called “From Resistance to Revolution,” has a “Draft Bernie for a People’s Party” logo at the top.
“Despite Bernie Sanders’ monumental efforts to reform the Democratic Party, it remains firmly in neoliberal control,” the report said.
“The Democratic Party has made it clear that it will not be the vehicle for the political revolution.”
Draft Bernie founder and director Nick Brana, the former national political outreach coordinator for Sanders’ 2016 presidential bid, added: “The facts and figures in the briefing show that a new party is the only way to defeat (President Donald) Trump and the Republican agenda.
“This is the case that has convinced Sanders surrogates and working people across the country to join the movement to Draft Bernie.”
Organizers say the summit will bring together grassroots activists and leaders of key progressive organizations to chart strategies and build unity in calling for promoting a progressive vision that moves beyond resistance and protests.”
Lincoln? I say more like a rich man’s Ralph Nader. So my friends: Do you feel as generous as I do? Bang for the buck.
We already have a communist party usa. Is bernie going to come up with a different name like food lines are fairness?

These people are stupid. Bernie talks the game with the “progressives”, but walks with the globalists, takes their money and the “goodies” like a lakefront home.
I wholeheartedly support the formation of a left wing third party. I’ll even make a financial contribution if it helps make it happen.
You’re comparing Lincoln to Sanders? WTF are you drinking, LOL!
Does Hillary! know about this? Is Bernie’s Life Insurance Policy paid up to date?
What a bunch of nuts.
I’d love to see this. I am so sick of libertarians bleeding 5-10% of the vote & helping the Rats. There have been numerous times a Rat won because of this.
No, I’m saying that splitting the Democratic Party into 3 factions with 3 candidates enabled Lincoln to win the Electoral College and thus the presidency. Look it up.
Oh, I know my History. Thank you for the clarification! :)
Absolutely. That was my first thought. Great news!!!
“Progressives Trying to Draft Bernie Sanders to Lead New Party”
Capital idea! Oh, and be sure to name it something like the “Social Democrats” or “Democratic Socialists” because the DemLIVs will be confused as hell as to which “Democrat” to vote for, with a great number no doubt accidentally voting for the wrong “Democrat” party.
The Pubs could pick up most of those Libertarian votes. All they would have to do is carry out their campaign promises for once.
The Libertarians are another globalist front group. Once I realized they’re even more gung ho about illegal immigration and amnesty than some Democrats I knew their party was a fraud. It’s sole purpose is to siphon enough votes from conservative and populist leaning Republicans to elect and keep globalist controlled dupes in office.
They are not my people. People’s Summit indeed.
Oh please, please let this happen......
You mean the majority that voted for Trump? I don't think so.
Why would Bernie want anything to do with a new party? The old one certainly treated him well. He got a nice new house out of it and surely considerable other financial enhancements.
They can call it what it would really be: The Communist People’s Party of the United States of America. The CPPUSA not to be confused with the Communist Party of the United States of America, the CPUSA.
