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.

        I’d bet real money they’ll try to run Shapiro. They dont see a terrible republican competitor as a must-win competition, they see it as a chance to run the worst dem they can possibly get away with.

          I’m in the same boat as you, hoping, but if 2016 and this past November have taught me anything, it is that most Americans have the memory of goldfish as soon as election times come around.

          Gonna keep my fingers crossed though!

          2024 Democrats defended the DNC going full 2016 so you bet the DNC will go full 2016 in 2028.

          Trumps ratings are tanking so the Democrats can run a dog turd and win.

        When you say DNC are you talking about tens of millions of registered voters? Because that’s who picks the candidates.

          I’m talking about the rich Democrats who donate to the super PAC that decides what laws Democrats will be pushing, the people who decide that Dems shouldn’t tax the 1 percent more aggressively.

          The people making Democrats lean towards being centrist in reality, but yeah the tens of millions of registered voters decided like you said my mistake.

            If you don’t like the SuperPAC and campaign funding then vote DNC. With enough votes in the senate they can make a constitutional amendment that reverses Citizens United.

            In 2024, Joseph Biden won the Primary with 87.1% of the popular vote, earning 3,905 delegates out of 3,949. Only 14 Million people voted in the primaries held between January and June, what would be a record low turnout if it weren’t completely normal for an incumbent president’s primary.
