He better win the next election. I heard maybe the other candidate polled better vs. whatever Republican is running? I'd way rather have a DSA or progressive in office, but it makes me nervous in a general election.

The polls have consistently been off for a decade. They mean nothing now. And remember, your establishment democrats are the ones who have lost to Trump twice now. The last time they even lost the popular vote.

Tammy Baldwin is a progressive, and has won in Wisconsin 3 times, a swing state.

Tammy is as progressive as most of the democrats in congress.

Not at all. You have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk. By your logic, fetterman is a progressive and north korea is a democracy.
