Joe Biden’s acceptance speech at the virtual Democratic national convention made one reference to “middle class” and one to “working families”. It never mentioned the word “poverty”.
Although Democrats put on a formidable show of unity, there are still refuseniks on the left who see little distinction between Biden and Donald Trump or the parties they lead. Some will gather at 4pm on Sunday for a virtual convention of their own.
More than 12,000 people have signed up to attend the People’s Convention, streamed live on social media and featuring the Hollywood actors and activist Danny Glover and the former Minnesota governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura as well as two of the more quixotic Democratic primary candidates, Mike Gravel and Marianne Williamson. They will vote on forming a new political party “free of corporate money and influence” to run candidates in the congressional midterms in 2022 and for president in 2024.
“A choice between Biden and Trump is no choice at all,” said Nick Brana, 31, national coordinator of the Movement for a People’s Party (MPP), which has nearly 100,000 members. “The Democrats and Republicans have made it clear that they will always choose profits over people. So we’re going to replace them.”
The convention revives an evergreen debate on the left: whether to follow the likes of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and reform the Democratic party from within, or to conclude that it is irredeemably beholden to corporate interests and walk away to create something new.

Oh yea, the 1st they want to do is kill off about 100 million people.
I wish this People’s Party all the best. Anything that splits the Rat vote is good for the country.
hard to tell the Mencheviks from the Bolsheviks in the dem party. interestingly the color of the anarchists in the R=Russian Civil War was black.
Voters have figured out the “Libertarian Party” is only a tool of the DNC.
Now they want to create another tool
