Manchin instead?

Here in Minnesota, especially in the 8th, Sander's policies had fertile ground but the DFL did not aggressively get after it. Joe Radinovich was under funded and essentially ignored. The result, a congressional seat flipped from blue to red. Policies that would begin the process of transforming the range from a economy that depends on people scratching at the ground to get the last bits of low grade ore to something that will provide a future for people are needed. The DFL were silent on this and offered nothing. The result, Pete Stauber, who stood proudly with Trump at a Duluth rally, is now my congressman. The Democratic Party needs progressives like Sanders to drive it toward solutions that work for people. Triangulation and the Third Way failed. You don't like Sanders? Fine, either does the GOP. Consider the company you're keeping.
