General Discussion

We completely agree on one major thing: the Republican agenda is deeply unpopular with the majority of Americans, and we have to defeat it.

Where we differ is the strategy to get there. You believe a bold progressive push is the answer everywhere. I believe that while that works perfectly in safe blue strongholds, it becomes a severe liability in the purple swing districts that actually decide control of Congress.

To protect affordable healthcare and fight income inequality, we have to win the middle in those swing areas. Acknowledging that geographic reality is just practical politics. People can disagree on the strategy, but it's grossly unfair for anyone to weaponize it against me by twisting it into an accusation that I do not support liberal agenda or policies.
