I just don’t understand why they won’t try this in districts like that. I mean, what do you have to lose? AOC, one of the most consistently progressive members of the House, has mostly been a loyal, faithful member of the Democratic Party, especially when it matters. The Democrats on the far left (well…US far left, such as it is) are not like Republicans on the far right. They will not work to hurt their own party. So what the hell is the problem with throwing some support behind progressives in the solidly red districts? There’s nothing to lose and everything to gain. Low risk, high reward. It should be a no-brainer.
