Just because our elected people are not all progressives, that does not negate anything I said. Some states are so red that a blue dog candidate that wins in the primary is still better than the alternative which may be a radical neocon like Ted Cruz or or that Nunes character. I do no believe that even blue dogs want to shut down medicare/medical, nor do they want to privatize the VA (Ihope) and trash the environment. We are never going to win if we wait for a house full of progressives, although we can always dream.
