When Tanzie Youngblood announced her congressional bid for New Jersey’s 2nd District, she thought she’d easily win the support of local, and even national, Democrats . A year with a record number of women running for office, a promising blue wave and the #MeToo movement seemed perfect for her progressive campaign.
It can be said with a high degree of certainty that the neo-liberals in charge of the Democratic Party would prefer to have one of their own elected instead of a Progressive like Youngblood.
