Those Little Lefty Parties

Pay attention to those little Lefty political parties.

...The “Working Families Party” was created by Daniel Cantor, a former staffer for Jesse Jackson‘s 1988 presidential campaign.

Their objective was to get leftist or socialist candidates elected to public office in as many states as possible. Their hope was to push the “Democratic” Party much further to the left, with the ultimate goal of establishing a Marxist party platform. This was an attempt to create an umbrella under which disparate and disenfranchised Marxist groups could collectively gain political power. It was somewhat successful in initially attracting many members from the Democratic Socialists of America and ACORN. One of their most famous members was Barack Obama, whom the New Party helped to elect to the Illinois Senate in 1996. ...

Side-note:  John Norquist formally became a member of the New Party after his resignation.  In reality, he always WAS a member of that Party, no matter what he called himself.  Ask anyone who had to work with him at Milwaukee Electric Tool.
