Prominent political donor and attorney John Morgan is launching a new political party, he said on the social platform X on Wednesday.

“I am forming a new political party for those of us stuck in the middle. Our two party system is broken due to Gerrymandering and divisive issues… both sides. No labels is not an option. Everyone wants a team or tribe,” Morgan, an attorney at the Morgan & Morgan law firm, said in his Wednesday post.

He ended the post with, “Stay tuned,” without adding many details about the launch.

Morgan could have been referring to the group No Labels in the post, which dropped its own “effort to put forth a Unity ticket in the 2024 presidential election” in April of last year. The Hill has reached out to Morgan for further comment.

I know the local law firms here in Philly had attempted, through their own advertising, to trash his firm as not being "local" (this was well before the election) and Morgan and Morgan have had multiple suits filed against them for deceptive practices.

[Diamond_Dog]

2. I myself am not a believer in "both sides." crap.

[Walleye]

4. This both sides thing is some kind of compulsion or nervous tic or something

[Diamond_Dog]

9. If you ask a "bothsider" to explain themselves

They can never come up with anything specific. They just parrot the “both sides” crap because they are lazy thinkers.

[CTyankee]

12. that signals to me that they are afraid of revealing why they "really" voted for someone as vile as Trump.

They "can't handle the truth!"

[Walleye]

28. They have been brainwashed for two generations to think that all politicians are corrupt and dishonest

It’s also a laziness of thinking

[Blasphemer]

42. I agree - it's a reflection of Americans inability to critical think and understand nuance. nt

[Walleye]

3. The Democratic Party is the moderate party, they've been lying about it so long that normal people believe that we

Are some kind of wacko, pervert, loving communists when in fact, they’re the ones cozying up to communist countries. What kind of Americans do we have that they believe everything they hear from right wing dictators

[BumRushDaShow]

8. The massive amount of likes is because

the RW loons have invested billions on spreading misinformation to brainwash people. Meanwhile we prefer to spend billions on actually helping to feed, house, clothe, care for, and educate people who are in need.

They consider the ROI for that propaganda proliferation resulting in a "successful election", satisfactory.

[groundloop]

15. EXACTLY. I've been saying for years that Democrats are too busy doing their jobs to brag about their accomplishments.

If we should learn anything at all from the GQP it's that we should put more effort into public relations / self promoting.

[Walleye]

30. That's it exactly, as they say, in a nutshell

[snowybirdie]

5. John Morgan

Used to have a radio program with Robt. F. Kennedy, Jr. That is all.

[Gore1FL]

6. Stuck in the middle between a moderate party and a NAZI party.... nt

[eppur_se_muova]

36. Maybe they can peel off some of that "moderate Nazi" voting bloc. nt

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

7. Sorry, nope, we have a two-party system.

If no party gets more than 50% of electoral votes in an election, does the leading party get to form a government by negotiating with other parties?

Nope. If no party gets more than 50%, then the House of Reps gets to vote for the next president, each state getting one vote. In other words, the Republican wins.

Third parties do not help us.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

13. That isnt how it worked when Bill Clinton won

Ross Perot siphoned from Bush Sr.

[Voltaire2]

29. Perot pulled equally from both parties

He was an exception to the rule that third parties exist on the extremes and voting for them supports the opposite major party. As in the libertarian party on the right and the green party on the left. Perot actually did find a center that could vote for him.

He also had no chance of winning. The electoral college further distorts presidential voting, giving the major parties an insurmountable edge over third parties.

The problem is of course that the Democratic Party is the centrist party, having fairly consistently shifted to the right instep with the Republican Party shifting to the far right, a phenomena known as the Overton Window. So the analysis that there is a void in the center is a delusion.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

38. But as a third party, Perot was not significant

Clinton got 370 Electoral votes. Perot zero. Bush 168.

So, a two-party election with some side-shows.

Suppose Perot managed to wrangle 120 electoral votes and Bush still got 168. Then Clinton would have a mere 250, more than anyone else, but not a majority of the Electoral College. Then the House would have selected the prez, one vote per state.

10. Posting on X says it all...................

[Jose Garcia]

14. Says what?

[ancianita]

11. Perhaps he's going for a voter coalition with Democrats. Morgan & Morgan is corporate, national (50 states), &

headquartered in Orlando. I hear their radio ads all the time.
Hard to see where they're going with this; maybe the midterms are a test run. Past performance is no guarantee, and they're all about the money. Kinda similar to oligarchs.

Morgan donated to Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.[38]
Morgan gave $355,000 to the Biden Victory Fund in August 2020.[39] Morgan is close to Joe Biden's younger brother, Frank Biden. Morgan flew Frank Biden to Joe Biden's inauguration in his private jet. Morgan said he talked to Frank Biden about job opportunities at Morgan & Morgan.[39]

Morgan & Morgan contributed $1.5 million toward a proposed Florida constitutional amendment to raise the hourly minimum wage to $15. Orlando Weekly reported that some employees at Morgan & Morgan made less than $15 per hour. When questioned by Orlando Weekly, Morgan said "I can tell what angle you're getting at with this story, and it's bullshit," saying that many of his call center employees start out with a $25,000 annual salary (an hourly wage of $15 an hour is equal to roughly $31,200 a year), and told a reporter "I bet you don't make $25,000 a year."[40]

2020 Florida Amendment 2 was an initiative to promote an amendment to the Constitution of Florida that passed on November 3, 2020, via a statewide referendum. Morgan & Morgan was a major donor to the political committee Florida for a Fair Wage, donating the bulk of the $4.15 million raised by the campaign. The amendment required 60% of the popular vote to pass. As a result, hourly minimum wage in the state of Florida is set to increase to $15 by 2026.[41][42][43][44]

16. "Perhaps he's going for a voter coalition with Democrats. "

This racist fucker burned Kamala Harris/Tim Walz -

TV lawyer John Morgan said Barron Trump was smarter than Harris campaign. Here's why


C. A. Bridges, USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida
Fri, November 29, 2024 at 3:56 PM EST

Morgan & Morgan personal injury attorney lawfirm founder and major Democratic donor John Morgan had high praise for President-elect Donald Trump's youngest, tallest child Barron during a Fox News appearance where he also accused Kamala Harris of being done in politics.

"It turns out that Barron Trump, who looks like a runway model, was telling his father, ‘You need to go on podcasts, you need to go on Joe Rogan,'" he said. During his campaign, Trump sat down with popular podcaster Joe Rogan and his roughly 14.5 million listeners for a ranging, three-hour interview, reportedly after Barron insisted.

Rogan said he discussed bringing his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, on his show "The Joe Rogan Experience" but declined to travel to her to do it for just the one hour her campaign offered. Trump's interview on Rogan has received 52 million views. Those decisions made all the difference, Morgan said Wednesday.

"Barron Trump is a lot smarter than everybody in the Harris... they said they didn't go on Joe Rogan, the progressives around her," Morgan said. "The progressives didn't want to go on Joe Rogan. "Look, if I'm running, I'm going on Joe Rogan, I'm living on Fox, that's how you change minds," he said.

(snip)

He can burn in hell as far as I'm concerned.

[ancianita]

19. So you don't think he could've been right by just saying Harris made a mistake by not

reaching out to voters via Joe Rogan and Fox? Okay.

We need turnout in 2026 & 2028. The only way I see that happening is when enough voters literally suffer under this administration, regardless of Rogan or Morgan.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. These people have a racist sexist agenda

This country has been there done that with these cycles before these people and their parents/grandparents got off the damn boat.

Look up Reconstruction. They can all go to hell.

[reACTIONary]

21. What is said is that "progressives" and "her campaign"...

.... declined under the conditions offered by Rogan. How is that racist?

[BumRushDaShow]

24. They have an agenda and if Democrats want to throw the base under the fucking bus

go right ahead.

None so blind are those who refuse to see.

[Deminpenn]

39. Good analysis isn't necessarily limited

to people with whom we agree. In this case, Morgan pointed out the Harris campaign most likely made a mistake not doing an interview with Rogan. Buttigieg regularly went on Fox News. I'm sure VP Harris would have done equally well or better by focusing on the economic accomplishments of her and Biden's administration that might well have resonated with some viewers.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. People STILL won't get the problem in this country

and so there's not much that can be done for those who can't accept it. The only way to start solving a problem is to ADMIT that there is one and this country has yet to do that.

As I have posted before -



Blaming the "victim" is craven.

20. I like the effort to increase min wage

I'm not big on any corporate interest in politics, but progress comes from working with people where you agree, and I do agree with huge increases in min wages. Working class people work for wages.

[travelingthrulife]

27. Rich people have no intention to raise minimum wage. Why do people fall for this?

[somsai]

37. If you head on up to the comment I was responding to, you'd see a news article where his company donated

over 4 million to a campaign to raise the min wage which was successful. So I guess he did have an intention to raise the min wage.

Bernie Sanders and I are both rich, and we really do want to raise the min wage. The Democratic Party is now the party of the more well to do and our party wants to raise the min wage. Though I have to say I'd rather it raised a lot more than anyone else to $22 and indexed with a COLA.

18. Hope your crotch don't hurt sitting on the fence like that, dickhead.

Of course, maybe not, if you got no balls...

[Wifes husband]

22. Won't affect me

I am a Democrat. I will stay a Democrat.

[travelingthrulife]

25. ahhh...both sides, huh?

NO THANK YOU.

[ToxMarz]

26. These are all just repukes back up plans

for when they go to far (long past that time in my book) and need a fallback party to front them.

[kimbutgar]

31. Meaning he wants to completely destroy the Democratic Party and make the Republican the only political party

The guy is a repuke. BS dude.

[wolfie001]

32. The "Let's Not Doing Anything and Protect My Assets" Party

[Basso8vb]

33. What a dumbfuck.

[NotHardly]

34. Another Wanna Be Dictator

[SunSeeker]

35. He is doing the work of the Republicans with this. Fuck him.

[IzzaNuDay]

41. yo John Morgan, why not run for local office first?

If a third party has any way of succeeding here, they need to start at the bottom. Build up local support. There’s plenty of opportunities. Coming in at the 11th hour on a presidential election year does not work. That has been proven over the last 25 years. Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, looking at ya!
