Dems imagine the "populist left" is more electable than Hillary.

You have no idea what is happening all across this country. People are angry and also scared a bit by the authoritarian direction the country is headed.

No its the Idea that Liberals and sanctuary cites can not operate the way they have by disregarding Federal Law! But they sure will accept Federal Money!

It is a mirror of what the Republicans did, first with the Tea Party and then with Trump. You guys are going to love President Ellison in 2020.



For every "progressive " vote someone like Ellison would get he would lose one moderate and independent

At the big protest in St Paul a few weeks ago there were 90,000 protesters. The only arrest was a right winger who took a swing at a protester and then pepper sprayed a few other. The right aren't a bunch of saints and the left aren't a bunch of violent anarchists. I know your agitprop tells you otherwise, but the truth is more muddled. Here is the video:

I don't really care much about my car. It is just a thing. Anyway, here in Minnesota it is the right wing who are violent. We had the guy who shot a bunch of people at the BLM protest and then the guy who was attacking people at the women's march.

"Democrats have been keeping pressure on Trump, but are they doing anything to address the reasons they lost?"

Of course not. When people don't feel safe and that side demonizes the Police, invite Illegal Aliens in Carte Blanche, ignore Islamic attacks on our soil, then proceed to call anyone that doesn't agree with you racists and bigots, then proceed to double down and move even further Left Yeah, that will work so well for the Dems.

The only violence at the march in St Paul came from the right.
