The two progressive lawmakers have addressed massive crowds in solidly red states including Idaho and Utah in recent days, as party of the national Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

A survey taken by Harvard’s Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), “who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and ‘fight harder’,” rather than leaders who are willing to “compromise” with President Donald Trump.

      Sanders?.. Maybe. AOC… No freaking way.

      You want a centrist that Dems should listen to? See Adam Frisch in my state. Almost beat Boebert TWICE in her home county.

        Unfortunately in the situation, almost only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes… Lauren boebert is just… Well it shouldn’t be hard to beat someone that gave a God damn hand job at a theater show in polite company regardless of their political affiliation. Dude’s got to figure out a better way to get his message across to people.

          Yeah. I know she’s terrible. It’s not the hand job that I’m against, she’s terrible as a congress critter. My point is, his message did land in a solid red district. She moved to the eastern side of the state to keep her seat.

            Honestly, the hand job controversy seemed a little slut shamey to me.

            Like, sure, it was wrong to do that in a public place but considering the scandals of most republicans that was almost quaint.
