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.

    If we want leftist leadership we have to abandon the Democratic party.

    You mean take over the Democratic party? If we abandon it, what will we use as a party framework? I don’t know of another that’s already built and running (and I don’t mean Libertarians or Greens).

    If you can’t be associated to the term “Democratic” then that’s a different story.
