The two progressive lawmakers have addressed massive crowds in solidly red states including Idaho and Utah in recent days, as party of the national Fighting Oligarchy Tour.

A survey taken by Harvard's Center for American Political Studies and Harris between April 9-10 found that 72% of Democratic voters supported politicians like Sanders (I-Vt.) and Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), "who are calling on Democrats to adopt a more aggressive stance towards Trump and his administration and 'fight harder'," rather than leaders who are willing to "compromise" with President Donald Trump.

RCV is illegal in at least 4 states right now. The GOP is making it illegal everywhere they can.

Wow, I had no idea they went so far as to specifically outlaw it. That's insanely evil and all the more reason to stop wasting votes on third parties... which may not matter anymore given the way things are rapidly deteriorating...
