Two conservative former Democratic senators, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana, have launched the One Country Project, a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit organization that aims to attract rural voters to the Democratic Party.

I don't mean this to "trash" the former members, but as something to look into.

I never seem to get that line not to cross right. But I post this so people might be aware of things like this.

the Intercept. Glen Greenwald is not a friend of the democrats or resistance.
