We're teaming up with Robert Reich to Unite for a Progressive President.
From the first votes cast in Iowa to the last votes cast at the
Convention, progressives need to come together and win.

[ [link removed] ]John, please support the campaign with a contribution of
$23 or
whatever you can afford immediately.

Why now, right before the holidays? Because the Election isn't waiting for
the holidays. The first votes will be cast in just over a month.

That's why last weekend, we launched our campaign pledging to make our
case to the American people on why our chosen candidate is the best chance
we have to beat Trump and vowing to focus our fight for the nomination
against the corporate wing, instead of each other. 

On Monday, the New York Times took notice in an article with the headline:
"Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders Have a Problem: Each Other."

While the article featured positive arguments for each candidate by
Congress members Pramila Jayapal, Ilhan Omar, and Ro Khanna to name a few,
it also continued to use the tired talking points of the corporate wing
trying to scare Democratic primary voters that big ideas and holding Wall
Street accountable will lose on Election Day even though poll after poll
shows exactly the opposite.

Listen, there are significant differences between Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren. No doubt. 

There’s also no doubt why they’re both hated by the corporate-Wall Street
wing of the Democratic Party. Both Warren and Sanders understand that our
system is rigged, and that economic and political power must be
reallocated from a corporate-Wall Street elite to the vast majority.

This is why the Wall Street wing is pouring money into the campaigns of
some of their opponents in the Democratic primaries and why much of the
corporate press is ignoring the enthusiasm they’re generating, polling
that shows massive support for progressive policy solutions like Medicare
for All and the Green New Deal, and keeps propping up the talking points
of the corporate Democrats who say Bernie or Warren are too progressive to
win.

We can not underestimate the power of the corporate wing and we won’t beat
them if we are divided and fighting each other.

That fact is it’s Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren who have the best
chance of beating Trump. Presidential elections are determined by turnout
and over a third of eligible voters don’t vote. They only go to the polls
if they’re motivated. And what motivates people most is a candidate who
stands for average people and against power and privilege.

The real divide in America today is establishment versus
anti-establishment. Voters are looking for a candidate that understand
America needs real change not a return to the status quo.  

This is why both Warren and Bernie are best positioned to beat Trump --
and alter the power structure in America so we don’t invite more
demagogues like him in the future.

Only two things stand in our way. The first is the corporate elite using
fear to persuade Democrats that neither Warren or Sanders can defeat
Trump. They say Democrats should put up a weak “moderate” instead, which
if they succeed, will increase the odds Trump gets a second term.

The second danger is that supporters of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie
Sanders will wage war on each other, and that will take both of them down.

Working together, we won’t let that happen. 

It’s true that only one of them can be the Democratic nominee, but we must
defeat the corporate wing first. There’s time to eventually come together
behind one of them and when we do, we will have the votes to take the
White House, flip the Senate, and begin the work of making this great
nation work for the many, rather than the few.

It’s time for progressives to unite. We need to work together to win. We
need to make our case to the American people on why our chosen candidate
is the best chance we have to beat Trump and we need to focus our fight
for the nomination against the corporate wing, not each other.
