Do progressive democrats have a coalition like the "New Democrats"?
I must admit - I was totally unaware of this coalition until recently. It made me wonder - do true progressives have a coalition like the "New Democrats"??

I will gladly start just donating to that group if one exists. I know, I should just vote for the candidate and study him etc., but I would like to be able to help someone who was a true progressive candidate that might not be from my neck of the woods and a coalition of such a group would help in weeding out people.

I will never give another dime to anyone who is a member of the "New Democrats", or the DLC or the DNC.

2. There is one in the house, the Progressive Caucus.

To my knowledge, there is none on the Senate, probably because there are not enough progressive democrats there.
