(44,115 posts)I think we all pretty much agree here on our goals. You are surrounded by left-liberals and progressives here. There are no doubt differences in opinion about roadmaps and strategies but to me that is something we can work out.
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is a proud Democrat and I look forward to a long productive time for her in Congress.
