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 know she's terrible. It's not the hand job that I'm against, she's terrible as a congress critter. My point is, his message did land in a solid red district. She moved to the eastern side of the state to keep her seat.

Honestly, the hand job controversy seemed a little slut shamey to me.

Like, sure, it was wrong to do that in a public place but considering the scandals of most republicans that was almost quaint.
