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.
No, we need the Democratic party… Or their corpse at least
We don’t have time to build the infrastructure and entrench a third party. That shit is extremely complicated and takes a lot of time and money.
There’s a perfectly good one already, with name recognition and the right branding. It’s just dickless and full of shit
So let’s tea party it and take it over for the left. We just need a large enough progressive faction to force them to cooperate and actually do what the people have been screaming for
Hang up a big “under new management” sign and actually do things, and there you go… We get a party on the left again. It can be done next election
“Guillotine party” was snappy sounding but I think you’re onto something ,maybe we should be the “Weekend at Bernies party” instead, where the corpse is the old Dem party.
