In a half-dozen states, the party is facing internal competitions of the sort its leaders once tried to head off.

    Alternative headline, existing dnc leadership is really bad, and progressive voters are running their own candidates.

        I don’t have a comprehensive list, but several are mentioned in the article.

          The article mentions two house reps that Bernie endorses.

            How many examples would you like? Do you have a specific interest in your local politics? We can find your district and evaluate the local candidates in your upcoming elections, if you like.

              Who are the progressives running?

              That’s the original question I asked so we can start with that.

              We can make it easier by only worrying about house reps or senators.

                I’m not going around in circles with you. There are 435 congressional reps in the house, plus 33 senate races. Examples are provided in the article.

                You’re not interested in a good faith discussion, so I’m going to ignore you from here on. Maybe someone else can help you.

                  Don’t you have to answer a single question before you get in to going around in circles territory?

    Maybe they should have actually pushed back on Trump rather than waiting it out and counting on the pendulum to swing back towards them?

      Democrats are experts at turning victory into defeat.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
