And this is exactly why I say we upgraded in both the Senate and the House with Pocan succeeding Baldwin. Pocan tells it like it is, calls out lame corporatist stuff like TPP, and the DPW would win a whole lot more elections in Wisconsin if t followed Mark’s lead.
Sorry Rep Pocan,
You are an exception, but it was NOT fear of progressivism, there simply is very little, to no DESIRE for actual pursuit of progressivism. Big difference to what you say. Ain’t enough lipstick to beautify that pig of a lie.
Certainly among the rich donors. Everyone else, though? Hard to say. If Progressives unified around a clear economic policy platform and then packaged their positions in easy to understand phrases, it might be different. But instead they argue and divide over grievances, support the neo-liberal policy of unfettered immigration, and preach down at working class white people.
