Don't we already have another party, i.e. the Greens? What is he talking
about?

No Billy, we can't buy you a new tricycle right now.  If we do, we won't have 
the money to pay our rent to that mean old landlord, and we'll be living in 
cardboard boxes out on the street.

But if you're a good boy now, you will get what you want for Christmas.

The New Progressive Party should begin right after the November election (we 
mustn’t do anything in the interim that increases the odds of a Trump takeover 
of America), with Bernie as its 
chairman and his e-mail list of supporters as its core.

Or it's just talking left to hustle up votes for $hillary. Hold him to it
but don't spare the scepticism!

Yes, It legitimates the idea of getting out of the two-party strait-jacket.

. . . .and it's just another case of where a Democratic party functionary
lands somewhere way the devil to the left of the official labor movement.

That's true but this call is far bolder than anything that will ever 
come out of Sanders's mouth.

Sounds like Reich is channeling Lawrence Lessig,  who campaigned on that 
platform in the Democrat primaries and got zero traction.

ROBERT B. REICHA Third Party vs. Big Money

The next move for Bernie Sanderss political revolution is to set up a 
third party (shall we call it the New Progressive Party?), whose primary goal 
should be to get big money out of politics. Nothing else worth doing is 
possible unless we reclaim our democracy, and we cant do that through 
our current Democratic or Republican parties, both of which are beholden to big 
money.
