Brief History and Platform of the Liberal Party
In 1943, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and liberal members of the then communist-dominated American Labor Party, formed the Liberal Party of New York State to help FDR secure a ballot line countering forces favoring the election of Henry Wallace. New York was not then the ‘blue state’ that it has become. Votes on the Liberal Party line won NY State for FDR.

The first chairman of the Liberal Party was Adolf A. Berle, Assistant Secretary of State in the Roosevelt Administration who worked with unionists David Dubinsky and Alex Rose, academicians John Dewey and Timothy Costello, the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, liberal forces in business and labor and community activists throughout the State to make the Liberal Party an alternative to the corruption dominated Democratic Party and a Republican Party ruled by Big Business and special interests; to make the Democrats honest and the Republicans more moderate.

The Liberal Party has a history of supporting candidates on the basis of merit, independence and progressive viewpoints regardless of party affiliation. Past nominees have included Governors Averill Harriman, High Carey and Mario Cuomo; U.S. Senators Herbert Lehman, Robert Wagner Sr., Jacob Javits, Robert Kennedy, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton; NYC Mayors Fiorello LaGuardia, Robert Wagner and John Lindsay.

In 1960 the Liberal Party’s 406,000 votes for John F. Kennedy helped him win NY State and forge an Electoral College victory over Richard Nixon.

independence and progressive viewpoints regardless of party affiliation.'

As in "neoliberalism" etc.

Progressives are pretty often impatient and willing to push.

Indeed, the people get almost nothing without getting fed up and pushing hard.

Tolerant of different views as long as the working class benefits, but when people do the same shit over and over again expecting different results, yes!

For example, The Third Way for The Third Time.

I have lost patience with the alleged Democrat Party.

Maybe the Liberal Progressive Party or Progressive Liberal party?

I want to turn the model on it's head.

I'd much prefer a caucus or party that is -for- voters. I never again want voters to be held hostage by arrogant politicians like Rahm Emanuel who laugh about being able to do what they want because voters have no choice
