Pennsylvania

that has been "bubbling under the surface" of our urban areas.

And I have seen posts on DU having a conniption fit about this candidate and I really don't know her background but I think that what has happened is that there has been a broad brush characterization of "progressive" candidates that automatically shoves them into some kind of "extremist" category through tying them to Bernie Sanders in a "pejorative" way.

Meanwhile what is happening, the ones I have been seeing slowly sliding into seats on this side of the state, are less hyperbolic and repetitive, and have been literally "out in the neighborhoods making noise" and actually rallying a demographic by "bringing home the bacon" for them, which includes demands for more affordable housing and getting "land banks" to do just that, getting neighborhood quality of life issues taken care of like going after illegal dumping and cleaning up vacant lots, etc., and of course getting resources for conflict intervention and resolution, as well as ensuring that there are activities in the neighborhoods for young people to reduce some of the causes for gun violence.

I.e., they have learned how to be "the squeaky wheel" without the repetitive utterances about "Wall street" and "millionaires and billionaires", where many of the people they serve have never been to NYC, let alone to see where "Wall Street" is, and this is also including a few who may have never even been out of their own neighborhoods at all.
