Congressional primaries are happening right now. This is the moment to get involved, to send people to Washington who’ll take on the real tyranny of our time - corporate tyranny - and break its stranglehold on the US government. Candidatesummit.com 4/4

Elected progressives have done a lot of damage by being careerist cowards that kowtow to the Democratic Party agenda once in office.
