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.

Yeah I’m expecting the dnc to double down with Kamala and maybe Pete as a running mate.

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

[–] Hellahunter@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.
