Our Mission
“The great only appear great because we are on our knees. Let us rise.”— Camille Desmoulins
Make no mistake. Our anger will not be placated by replacing a Republican millionaire with a Democrat millionaire. We will most certainly not be “voting blue no matter who.”
Time and time again, good leftist policy has been undermined by millionaire Democrats who are beholden to lobbyists and corporate interests.
This site and the policy proposals therein are not meant to be “left vs. right.” We mean to reframe the argument to represent what the problem really is in this country.
Up vs. Down.
Universal healthcare, housing as a right, wealth caps, labor protections, a rebuilt safety net. Unsurprisingly, every one of these issues polls above 50% with the American public, and some of them closer to 70%.
If the political class can’t act on these public mandates, we will primary them and elect someone who can.
