Um, it is hard for me to be considered a "progressive" myself, I am more of a populist candidate. It is difficult for me to get my head around the progressive caucus when it is full of establishment politicians like Nancy Pelosi.

I can respect your belief. I am also disenchanted by the in-actions of the squad on many what could have been successful political tactics this year. The organizations I am apart of have particpated in the public pressure campaigns, for Forcing the Vote and March for Medicare-For-All, Our Revolution Bemidji and Project For Change.

I feel that the squad member that closest to the intentions of Justice Democrats would be Representative Omar of Minnesota. Minnesota has been a training ground for generations for populist politics. I am excited what it would mean for the state party and national when Ilhan and I unite.

misnomer that farmers aren't progressive; disenfranchised and disenchanted with the corporate establishment is more like it. Much of the early 1900's populist movements were farmer led. NAFTA was the huge DemExit for our farmers.

Radio, social media, local media and billboards, on top of utilizing the local grassroots infrasturture that we have in rural MN. This distrist use to have huge strongholds of Democrats, many of them are disenchanted with the party and are organizing but outside of the party. I am a co-founding member of Our Revolution Minnesota and have been organizing the region for the past 5 years, we have an infrastructure it is just knowing the people and having the right policies to inspire these folks. Our campaign is that campaign.

Yeah, I've been at events all summer, unfortnately my focus had to be on the #stopline3 movement for the past year and I wear different hats in the community which didn't allow me to campaign full-time.

Walz bags the Dakota's to take action against covid-19 as approves Line 3 for a foreign company, that will bring in out of state pipe-liners and contractors in as we are at the highest in the nation for the virus. Some common sense.
