Progressives visiting swing districts in coming days

() Angry constituents at town hall events for Republican lawmakers have made headlines recently, as conservative voters chide their representatives for some of the actions being taken by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Recently, liberal voters have also been criticizing their Democratic lawmakers as well in this case, for not doing enough to fight Republican President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Now, in the next couple of days, progressive lawmakers are going to swing districts in Arizona and Colorado. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is set to join Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, on his “Fighting Oligarchy: Where We Go From Here” tour.

Democrats say this is to fill the void, as House Republican leadership has told members of their party to stop doing in-person town hall events. Another reason is to get a chance to put their message in front of Republicans.

“We cannot afford to be in an ‘every person for themselves’ kind of moment,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “We need to work together and as a team in order to usher our country through this very dark time.”

Sanders says the way to win is not in Washington, D.C.

“We’re going to win it when millions of people, Republicans, Democrats, independents, stand up and say, ‘You know what? This is not the kind of government we want,'” Sanders said.

spoke to several moderate Democrats who say they’re OK with the progressives in their party spreading their message like this. Moderates and progressives aren’t always on the same page, though, and some of that boiled over last week with Senate Democrats voting in different ways on a GOP government funding measure.
