Ignore it you want but don't be surprised when Trump takes the 2020 election.

Yet, is the roof worker really more OK with Wall Street democrats who pay lip service to average workers but swim in corporate donations and serve the top 0.1%? I think not. America has a long tradition of worker organizing and workers standing up for themselves.

Medicare is polling well as well. Same with Social Security. People are not as right wing as you think they are.

A slate of primaries in Connecticut, Minnesota, Vermont and Wisconsin on Tuesday delivered key answers in some of this midterm cycle’s most pivotal races.

There were historic wins for a diverse crop of candidates that includes a transgender woman and a Muslim nominee, and a slew of progressives prevailed only a week after they fell short in a number of high-profile races in Kansas, Michigan and Missouri.
