The governor candidate of Michigan and the congressman from St. Louis.

Oh, and the congressional challenger and Native American from Kansas.

Any reason they were left off the list

Anyone who may not or don't support OR and Freedom Democrats are not progressive, they could deliver everything the naysayers want and they still will not be considered progressives. It is Complete bullshit.

Why are you all upset with me? Geeze I only just shared the information which I found. Don't scream at me because you disagree with what someone else posted which I had no say in.

Innocent oversight I am sure.

Are these people running as Democrats? Then identify them as such. IF they win in November, they will add to our Democratic caucus, and IF we take back the House, Democrats will be able to elect a Speaker from among Democrats and appoint Democrats as chairs of committees. IF.

On the other hand, if they are running as something other than Democrats (like Independent) they do us no damn good in that department.

This year there is no room for divisive bullshit and purity tests. The republic is at stake.
