    A progressive candidate just won in Fort Worth. Centrists were fulla shit when they said that progressives can’t win in red districts, just like they’re fulla shit about everything else.

    Can’t wait to see why they think this doesn’t count.

      Ironically, Republicans won in 2024 in part running on the progressive platform: mainly a rhetorical focus on affordability.
