Nick Brana, Founder and National Coordinator of the Movement for a People's Party, joins T. J. O'Hara, host of Deconstructed, to discuss the organization's evolving platform and the progress it is making. The movement seeks to create a major new progressive populist political party in the United States. Mr. Brana talks about the genesis of the movement and its ties to frustrations that began to arise during Senator Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign; a campaign for which he served as its National Political Outreach Coordinator. He describes the imbalance that continues to exist between Party-favored candidates versus more revolutionary candidates like Senator Sanders. Mr. Brana also discusses the potential new Party's commitment to driving “big money” out of politics and representing the will of the people. He talks about populist polling that reflects a strong preference in favor of providing a living wage, universal healthcare, free education (pre-school through college), and access to housing for all as well as an emphasis on addressing the issue of Climate Change. He acknowledges the incredible waste of taxpayer funds that currently exists (at the hands of both major Parties) and how a recovery of those funds, along with increased corporate and private taxes and the elimination of loopholes, can fund the movement's progressive agenda. T. J. asks probing questions about how the potential new Party will differentiate itself from other Third Parties and Mr. Brana responds. T. J. also asks about whether the People's Party has the ability to scale to a point of becoming a competitive alternative in the near-term as well as whether the Party may threaten to fracture the base of the Democratic Party. Mr. Brana offers his opinion on both counts. Will the People's Party become a viable alternative to the current duopoly? Can it attract a large enough percentage of independent voters to supplement its base, which has roots in a subset of the Democratic Party? Listen to hear what Mr. Brana has to say, and then, decide for yourself.

This past weekend, new members of Congress voted for the speaker of the House. Given the slim majority of Democrats, progressives urged members of Congress who ran on a platform of Medicare for All to negotiate a floor vote for the Medicare for All bill in exchange for their support for Nancy Pelosi. Given the recession, pandemic, the millions who have lost their health insurance, growing support for Medicare for All and this rare opportunity of holding political power, the floor vote was seen as an important demonstration that progressives in Congress would fight for the people's interests this year. The campaign went by the hashtag #ForceTheVote. I speak with Nick Brana of the Movement for a People's Party about the campaign and next steps to win National Improved Medicare for All.

Welcome to the radio magazine that brings you news, commentary and analysis from a Black Left perspective. I’m Margaret Kimberley, along with my co-host Glen Ford.  Coming up: the Green Party gears up to take on the two corporate parties in November. And, the Movement for a Peoples Party plans to be on the presidential ballot in 2024, but its members are in the streets, today.   But first – by some measures, the current movement against police brutality is the largest political movement ever seen in the United States. But Clarence Taylor, a professor emeritus of history at Baruch College, in New York City, reminds us that brutal, repressive cops have been part of Americana for most of the nation’s history. Professor Taylor has written a book, titled, “Fight the Power: African Americans and the Long History of Police Brutality in New York City.” When the corporate Democrats defeated Bernie Sanders’ first race for president, in 2016, a number of Sanders’ supporters left the Deocratic Party entirely, and formed the Movement for a People’s Party. Nick Brana is National coordinator for the M.P.P. Now Bernie Sanders has been forced out of the presidential race once again. We asked Nick Brana if Sander’s second defeat has resulted in a boost in recruitment for the People’s Party movement.

Today’s show invites former Sanders’ grass roots organizers, Nick Brana (senior staff member of Sanders’ 2016 campaign) and Jerry Perez (current field director for Sanders’ Our Revolution grass roots organization in Los Angeles) , to discuss the emerging formation of an independent political party in the wake of Sanders’ capitulation, who abruptly dropped out of the Democrat party primary race and endorsed Joe Biden. Rasmus briefly explains the dimensions of the ‘triple crisis’ today: the economic crisis now deepening; the health (virus) crisis accelerating the economic decline that began late 2019; and the political crisis about to intensify even further between the two wings of the corporate party of America—aka Trumpublicans and Democrats. Rasmus reviews the dimensions of the emerging political crisis and the recent trajectory of the Sanders campaign and its collapse. Guests Nick Brana and Jerry Perez discuss what’s happening now with the growing movement to form an independent political party.

IVN Election Reform Editor Shawn Griffiths recently spoke with Nick Brana, who is the former National Outreach Coordinator for the 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, and is the founder of the Movement for a People's Party. Shawn and Nick discuss a new rule proposed by the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee that would essentially require presidential candidates to declare their unconditional loyalty to the party establishment. The rule blocks out independent-minded Democrats and candidates like Bernie Sanders who do not toe the party line 100% of the time. You thought superdelegates were bad? Imagine a rule that allows one man to decide who can and cannot be a candidate. Under this rule, Tom Perez is given that power. So if you don't fall in line with the establishment, you can't run. Nick and Shawn also discuss Bernie Sanders' silence on the party's actions against him and millions of voters, and the incentive that gave the party to continue down the path it followed in the 2016 elections -- rigging the primaries, limiting debates, giving one campaign full control of the party, etc. You won't want to miss this interview.

Aired Tuesday, 12 June 2018, 5:00 PM ESTAn Independent Movement to Activate "the Progressive Majority" - A Conversation with Nick Brana - Founder, and National Director of Movement for a People’s Party"The Republicans? They've sold their soul to the devil. Not the Democrats. They've just RENTED theirs." -- Swami BeyondanandaA couple of weeks ago, we had as our guest on Wiki Politiki Erik Fogg, whose book, Wedged: How You Became a Tool of the Partisan Political Establishment and How to Start Thinking for Yourself Again talks about how both political tribes are mobilized by fear and anger to take polarized, intractable positions. A recent book by a Yale professor John Bargh, Before You Know It: The Unconscious Reasons We Do What We Do, goes even further in suggesting that liberals can be made more conservative by invoking fear, and conservatives more liberal by creating a sense of safety.Which brings us to this week's guest, Nick Brana.Nick Brana is the founder and National Director of the Movement for a People’s Party, a coalition of progressive organizations for a "nationally-viable party for working people". Nick had been the National Political Outreach Coordinator with the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, where he lobbied the superdelegates and elected officials for Bernie, organized his political meetings and planned convention activities. He went on to become a founding member of Our Revolution and its first Electoral Manager, where he created an endorsement plan and assembled the candidates.However, in early 2017, Nick Brana quit Our Revolution and launched his own independent campaign to "draft Bernie" as an independent candidate, citing the intractability of the Democratic Party apparatus and their resistance to genuine systemic change. At a time when more and more people -- particularly young folks -- are turned off to both parties, can a "third party" become an actual "first party"?Will this party merely triangulate progressive voters, and ensure Donald Trump a second term? Or can the platform bring together progressives and populists who voted for Trump because the Democrats have been "tone deaf" to their needs? Can their platform create enough unity, coherence and "safety" to bring conservative populists on boards as well? What IS the strategy to take advantage of the growing disgust with the two parties that currently control our politics?Tune in to this lively discussion on how we the people can "overgrow" the current pay-to-play political duopoly this Tuesday, June 12th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET:Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: http://wikipolitiki.com/archives/Read more about Nick Brana and Movement for a People's Party here.How you can support Wiki Politiki If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, "put your money where your mouse is" ...Join the "upwising" -- join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!
