Justice Democrats is dead.

Good, hopefully we can get a competent, sane progressive movement.

I can't stand it... this is TERRIBLE NEWS. But I'm not willing to let them go down! They've already endorsed a TON of people. I agree their strategy is bad and needs work, but they just launched this year! It takes time to build these movements.
 I think the big problem for progressives is getting  behind a single candidate in a race. In CA-45 for instance, there's three Bernie people. Well, that's NOT what we need! We need one progressive endorsement per district, and we need to run in the right areas. I think the Texas candidates are good, but where's the people running in districts like IL-14, MN-2 while we have candidates running in dark red areas like CO-5 and NC-5?  Where is Pelosi's challenger? And more importantly... where's Randy Bryce! Progressives need to be organized.
I wish they hadn't fired Cenk though, it's not like he sexually harassed anybody or groped them! I just think this is going to far. I mean for goodness sakes, Bernie has that letter from 45 years ago should we separate ourselves from him?

Randy Bryce is busy being a deadbeat dad who doesn't even care enough about his own son enough to help take care of the poor boy.

The overreaction to the incident is something. Though they shouldn't have resigned in the first place, Kulinski and Uyghur resigning from the organization will crush Justice Democrats, before they even had any major momentum. Bad move and it seems like the organization itself is incapable of doing much without those major figures. Along with the fact that public support for the organization from their own audiences seems to be crushed without them, if they don't return soon Justice Democrats will be a dead organization and could see almost all of their non-incumbent candidates get swept away in the primary's. Shame really since i liked what they were doing. Our Revolution is the next best thing and is still a great and strong progressive advocacy group.

That about sums up my thoughts too. I think Cenk should have been reprimanded somewhat, but a large part of the progressive movement is reform, not just in policy but in people's opinions. Cenk was a prime example of that since he was a conservative and likely sexist guy, but now he's a big name on the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.

Cenk was a nobody has-been-that-never-was
