Do progressive democrats have a coalition like the "New Democrats"? |
|
I must admit - I was totally unaware of this coalition until recently. It made me wonder - do true progressives have a coalition like the "New Democrats"??
I will gladly start just donating to that group if one exists. I know, I should just vote for the candidate and study him etc., but I would like to be able to help someone who was a true progressive candidate that might not be from my neck of the woods and a coalition of such a group would help in weeding out people.
I will never give another dime to anyone who is a member of the "New Democrats", or the DLC or the DNC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Progressive_CaucusTo my knowledge, there is none on the Senate, probably because there are not enough progressive democrats there.
