trying to elect progressives or trying to elect progressive Democrats?
Does Moveon.org try to elect progressives, or only progressive Democrats? I've seen no evidence that Moveon.org has ever supported a Green or other non-Democrat. Should this not be stated clearly? 2604:2000:F64D:FC00:28CF:7EED:127:9B56 (talk) 23:46, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The United States has a Two-party system, so MoveOn usually endorses Democratic members, since they have the best chance to further the progressive agenda that MoveOn supports. The Green Party of America is mostly just a symbolic party, with most of the money they receive coming from conservatives so as to push votes from the Democratic party to a third party. In other words, trying to make progressives waste their votes. There are 0 Green Party members of the federal Government, and no current Green Party members were elected to a State Congress or Senate. There is one Green Party member(Ralph Chapman) in the Maine House, but he was elected as a Democrat and left the party because of some bitterness. He's not eligible to run again in 2018, and wouldn't win as a Green anyway. So no, it doesn't need to be stated clearly. MoveOn endorsed Bernie Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary.

Proposed merge with History of MoveOn.org
It is unusual to have such a detailed WP:SPINOFF in this situation. There is too much detail here, and the main article benefits from merging something like half of this information. The main article has a bit of WP:Recentism and will have even more recentism as 2020 closes in. Yes, this would still lack references, but I will try to add as many as I can if this is merged. w umbolo  ^^^  19:51, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Support merge. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 23:44, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Support merge. There's a lot of material here that already exists in the main article. The main article is not at all overly long as it is. Seems pointless for the history to be split off into this separate article. Unfortunately, I have zero experience in merging articles, so can't really assist...

No Labels lawsuit
According to (primary source) material from MoveOn, the group No Labels has filed a SLAPP lawsuit or a request for DoJ investigation or both (claims seem unclear, and maybe there is more than one action), "accusing MoveOn of criminal harassment, extortion, and unlawful conspiracy under RICO", and maybe targeting more than just MoveOn in particular. Needs some secondary sourcing, of course (here's some ), but it seems like an encyclopedic development. No Labels is an allegedly centrist organization, though some criticism of it has characterized it as really a conservative "dark money" engine, and it seems mostly anti-leftist not centrist in what it is doing (e.g. a strange claim that the Democrats are trying to limit ballot access, when clearly it is the Republican party doing this all over the country). A Google search on MoveOn "No Labels" produces statements from both organizations, and background on their historical feuding, but not a lot of other news on the recent legal action. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  21:42, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
