at least in my area, the Democrats are progressive as hell
As someone who lives in South Dakota, I envy you. The Democrats here tend to be even worse than Pelosi. They’re Blue Dog through and through.
I’ve considered running locally myself, but my “radical” beliefs would definitely be exposed, and I don’t want my husband to deal with the death threats. That, and my work schedule.
To be clear, I agree with everything you’ve said. You are quite a bit more articulate than I am.
