Talk:Justice Democrats

Donations to political campaigns reform
I think that we should point some flaws in their ideas like their goal to ban private donations (which by this I meant that they will ban people from donating to political campaigns). This is very short-sighted as it prevents the people from having a voice in government. The Sanders campaign could not have suceeded if private citizens were prohibited from donating and the Justice Democrats are being funded by private citizens.

 * The idea of banning private donations is to switch entirely to a publically-funded campaign system. If the only meaningful way people can have a "voice in government" is by donating to political campaigns, then there will be a few people who have a lot more voice than the majority of the population. Which is what we have now, which is why what the majority of Americans want is a statistically insignificant factor in policies passed by Congress. Onychoprion (talk) 19:03, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Neoliberals
Most of the current Democratic establishment, and especially Obama and Hillary Clinton, are not neoliberals. The people who wrote and passed Dodd-Frank and wanted to recreate Glass-Steagall are not neoliberals. Kodak (talk) 13:04, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Cenk Uygur's old blog posts
Uygur has resigned and agreed to remove himself from "any and all involvement" in Justice Democrats after the organisation demanded his resignation due to blog posts he had written in the early 2000s.

There is another quote about "whores in training" that some are attributing to Uygur. However, the archive shows it was written by David Koller.

Uygur apologised and said he "had not yet matured" despite being a 30-year-old man in 2000.

This article reads like a puff-piece or an advertisement. I didn't know that was part of our mission. Chef Moosolini’s Ristorante Italiano Make a Reservation  03:51, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

While only 7 of the primary victors ultimately ended up winning, their impact has not gone unnoticed and the broader left-wing movement that they represent will likely not go away any time soon.

Seriously? This isn't a summary, it's pure political spin. --Calton (talk) 07:00, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Sorry but this article needs deleting. It's just plainly off topic both in content, and subject matter. Kiko4564 (talk) 15:04, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
