Brand New Congress is a bit funky.
From their own website FAQ ...
Brand New Congress is not bi-partisan or non-partisan — we are “post-partisan.” The two major parties in America have disintegrated into weak, sprawling sets of local and state organizations that don’t know what they stand for. They are still relevant in one important way: they represent vague cultural brands that are important to something like two thirds of American voters.

The fact is that both Republican and Democratic establishments are equally as opposed to taking big steps to fix our economy and right the wrongs of our out of control criminal justice system. And among Republican, Democratic, and Independent voters, there is an invisible majority waiting to be united around radical and practical solutions.

Needless to say,
a) they must be viewing a different Republican party (including voters) than I am. Only the "establishment" of the party is bad; the voters, who as Ike keeps noting, elected Trump, are just fine.
b) they think I'm only still a Democrat because it's a "cultural brand". That my party stands for nothing. I know what it stands for (even if Sanders helped write the 2016 platform, I still think it was pretty good even beforehand

), and I belong to it because I support it.
I don't dislike their progressive platform. Looks good. But given all that BS they just spewed above, that they will back both Dems and Republicans equally, they could only find, out of 26 candidates they're supporting, 2 Republicans that endorse their platform.

One in AK, one in TN, that's it. Maybe that should tell the fool who wrote that FAQ that Dems and Reps don't support their progressive agenda equally.
Plus, this whole "throw the incumbents out" ethos behind the group, as if they somehow think replacing a long-time corrupt pol with a new one corrupted by the same shit will change anything.
Hokay. Go fuck yourselves, not that I would ever give your stupid group a dime. I hope that's clear.
