    This is like the perfect embodiment of the Democratic party.

    If they didn’t have Trump and MAGA as a punchline for easy votes we would be looking at a Tea Party 2.0 decimating the ranks of the DNC.

    Unfortunately the progressive socialist movement most people have a boner for has a weak standing on the national stage. Don’t believe me? Go meet some of the morons voting in Iowa and Missouri.

      The current DNC chair was the chair of Minnesota for a decade…

      If he fights against progressives, hes completely inept at that but also the world’s best liar.

      Like, dude has a very long track record leading parties. At the end of the day that consistently results in progressives getting elected.

      That’s just facts

      Oh no, Democrats not doing well in Iowa or Missouri? Whatever will we do!?

        Trump got 32% of the vote in Massachusetts. I’m sure you can easily rustle up some far-right voters there.

          And 40% of Missouri voted for Harris, what’s your point?

          The poster above implied that some sampling of voters from conservative states translates into something about nationwide sentiment. Cori Bush was a reelected representative of Missouri’s first district. If they actually wanted to find progressives, they wouldn’t be hard to track down.
