For all the alarmist conversations about progressive democrats, may I remind people that Trump will continue to be President, anything will have to go through Congress which will not move particularly far to the left, and Republicans are likely to continue to dominate the NC legislature. The more progressive democrats will have a seat at the table, but their influence won't be dramatic. I think the news media has been hyping the discord/ differences within the Democratic Party; rather what they need to do is pull together and realize that they are all one big party whose aim first and foremost must be to stop Trump (and as Cooper says, lower prices and spend money to help the average person).

It’s great to cite polls, but why don’t we all pivot to the differences between the candidates and what they stand for.

This is what is listed for Cooper. Why don’t you contrast this with Whatley?

Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper holds key positions centering on reproductive rights, healthcare access, public education funding, and aggressive climate change targets. His core platform emphasizes protecting legal abortion access, expanding and defending healthcare coverage, boosting public school and teacher support, and reducing carbon emissions. He is also running on the Affordability issue as he recognizes that what a lot hinges on is the old adage: It’s the economy, Stupid.

Seriously stop

Telling us about the polls.

Tell us what Dems are running to change.

Two names for you Thomas: Francisca Hong will win the Democratic Primary in Wisconsin tomorrow and then Abul El-Sayed. You will see these two mentioned on television ads in the Tar Heel State. I hope Trump continues to make mistakes that causes gasoline and food prices to remain high.

I hope Democrats in North Carolina can figure out how to speak more clearly. There's no need to embrace the left flank, simply talk about the kitchen table and working class agenda.

Freedom and fairness.
