    I’m going to assume due to their recent presence in the news that AOC and Bernie are in that group of 7. Maybe Whitehouse too?

    Gov of Maine, Illinois, Colorado and California are not part of congress, but they also have not been complicit.

      Tbh, different motives, at least in regards to Gavin (who I naturally keep an eye on at he’s my gov’ner). He’s clearly hoping to run for President and I guess he would prefer there still to be elections to do so in four years. He’s not too be lumped in with genuine progressives, though.

        Yeah, fox makes him seem a lot cooler than he is. He’s, like, the definition of a shitlib, and I’m saying that as someone who isn’t even a tankie.

          Look, if I’ve learned anything it’s that we’re still on the same side as them (Kamala is similar and her winning would have still been so much better) but when and where it’s possible I’d like to see more progressive candidates. It might never be the presidency, but California certainly could do better in it’s primaries if we could just get money out of politics.
