Progressive Democrats caught a much-needed break on Tuesday night, after coming up short in an earlier spate of elections this cycle. The progressive left is claiming victory in three key House races in Oregon and Pennsylvania, though votes are still being tallied. Should their candidates prevail, it would give them momentum heading into a busy summer of primary elections, in which Democrats from across the party's ideological spectrum are fighting to ensure their side has the upper hand. The Democrats that surged ahead on Tuesday night "were unashamed in defining that they are progressive," said Kristal Knight, a Democratic strategist

I'm surprised they're so open about their Nazi roots.

The Dims continue to dig themselves deeper and out of touch with America and its historical values. Because winning a Dim primary on Progressive philosophies will hopefully make it ever more unlikely that they will win national elections - unless by cheating.

Doubtful most African-Americans, Hispanics or Asian-Americans consider themselves Progressive, which tends to be the domain of upper-income, Ivy-League, and white people.
Today's Democrat party has move very far to the Left, which only represents around 20% of the population, but 90+% of elected Democrats. They've purged most of the moderates, and certainly all of the Conservative Democrats.
It's a topic that the GOP needs to hammer home over and over to the electorate.

That's OK. If the area they are in are moon bat dem saturated, they will win. If it hadn't been them it would have been another dem. We already know there are areas of the country that are heavily progressive.
However, if it's not an extreme dem area, it is going to be a clear difference between the nuts that are currently steering the country off the cliff and Republicans. The progressives aren't all that popular at the moment.

Normal people would stop digging if they find themselves in a hole. Democrats’ perverse mentally compels them to do exactly the opposite. Like spending your was out of inflation.

Have no idea why they call themselves progressive. All I see is regressive - they want less freedom for everyone (except themselves) in thought and action. The only thing they are for is to tear this country apart that brave men and women built. They would be the first ones to hide if there was any danger around.

When Democrats celebrate victories here in Oregon, it's like a restaurant celebrating a "best food in town" award that they gave themselves. With vote-by-mail, the Democrats have pretty much complete control over who wins which election. That's why they want so badly to inflict vote-by-mail on the rest of the country.

Please, please, PLEASE stop calling them progressives. They use the "P" word to try to soften their complete takeover of our lives and country. In addition, most are Godless, have no morals or character, and lead sad, miserable lives. We are paying big time for our sin of the last 30-40 years. May God help us.

In Pennsylvania-12, the progressive Dem has zero chance of winning.
In Oregon-6, the progressive Dem will win easily.
Oregon-5 is the only interesting race, which may well swing to Republican because the Dems went with a complete loon.

Didn't Trump backed candidates win about 80 races this week? Dems won 3?

Oregon is totally understandable but Pennsylvania is quite understandable, given the East Coast thinking but this tells the real story:
"Comments: That's because moderates are abandoning the party in droves, leaving only barking moonbats to vote the Dem line."
