Also, what may be considered "progressive" differs in states depending on the appeal of the Democratic Candidates. Senator-Elect Ruben Gallego won the AZ-SEN race and happens to have a staunchly progressive voting record while being an Army veteran and a Latino with a real understanding of the bread and butter issues.
Yeah, and it helped Gallego that he was blunt and didnтАЩt sugar coat things. HeтАЩs honest be truthful with his difficult life as a Latino and plenty of Latinos connected with him in that sense.
There is a huge difference between progressive on economic issues and being a culture-war progressive. Middle America has a lot less tolerance for the latter.
