Major Democratic donor Reid Hoffman has invested $500,000 into a new super PAC

I am on the Justice Democrats email list. Heck, I have even listened to a couple of their podcasts which are entitled "Just Us" Democrats. I enjoy laughing at these emails and the attacks on regular democrats who they call corporate democrats. Lately, the Justice Democrats are crying about their donations being way down and corporate/regular democrats being mean to them, Yesterday I got two emails email about mean regular democrats forming a new PAC to oppose the Just Us Democrats candidates.

I found the new super PAC and it makes me happy.



The Just Us folks are mad at this PAC and are also still mad at Hakeem Jeffries PAC


I am amused by the Justice Democrats emails. I was pleased to see that this group is so mad at both Hakeem Jeffries and this new PAC. These emails from the Justice Democrats really made me smile

..just another dark money org, hiding from FEC eyes.

"Small donations "....recurring via preloaded bank cards.
Facebook sells them & so does Pete Thiel & Silicon Valley.
No questions asked..


I'd like to see that 'undisclosed small donar' loophole eliminated.

Only certain Democrats can run for office or forget about it.


Tsk Tsk we need all hands on deck and if the Big Tent is real then we need to embrace everyone who beats the republicons.

If we cast them aside we lose.

Welcome them and work on compromise.

I have been following the Justice Democrats and its predecessor and affilaites for a while including the "brand new congress group" and other groups created by Cenk, Kyle Kulinksi, Waleed Shadid, and their ilk. I am on the Justice Democrat email list and I have even listened once or twice to the Justice Democrat podcast which is amusingly called "Just Us" democrats. The Justice Democrats emails are fun to laugh at and I love the hatred this group shows to the Democratic Party, establishment Democrats and best of all corporate democrats. The posts attacking the DCCC for raising money to elect real Democrats are really amusing.

I have been following a number of posters on twitter who dislike the Justice Democrats who have issues with the concept of the Justice Democrat group wanting to take over the Democratic party and remake into their image.



This poster is not the only person who has issues with the concept that the Justice Democrats want to take over the Democratic Party


Again, the above posts are consistent with the hatred of the Democratic Party by the Justice Democrat group that I see on the almost daily emails that I get from the Justice Democrats.

If you want to learn more about the Justice Democrats just enter "Just Us Democrats" in the search function of twitter.

I'm not upset with some disarray amongst us. We can handle that and we can handle
defeating the reTHUG Fascist Insurrectionists going forward too.

Their goal is to dismantle the Democratic Party into their own image. That is not attractive to me.

They already said their intent is to 'burn it all down". Remember?

2017. From their own twitter. In their own words.
Make what you want of it.
It's pretty clear.

masquerading as faux progressive are going to become known by their actions -- to some. Meanwhile, sabotage of progressive Democratic legislation and progressive Democratic legislators continues for those who can be fooled all the time.

One thing that's sad is that many are drawn to unicorn rhetoric by their own genuine idealism and desire to be part of a high-minded movement, something far, far better than just the real-world Democratic Party's achievable goals.
