Democratic Party Smears Progressive, Backs Former Republican

"Mary Wilson is a progressive Democrat running for Congress in Texas' 21st district. She is a lifelong social justice advocate, community leader, and teacher. She believes that we can create a society that works for everyone when we elect more progressive women to Congress who will stand up for compassion and love.

Education

Education is the great equalizer. We must step up to the task of educating the future generations of the country and making sure that anyone who wants an education, receives one.
Healthcare

We need universal healthcare because no one should be denied care because of their ability to pay. Medicare for All means we put people over profit.”*

I like how the headline uses "former Republican" as a pejorative outright, when Cenk is also a former Republican.

You know you're early to a TYT video when there's 0 dislikes

[thelordakira]

The fact that you have voting records is troubling.

Remember when we were all so excited about Conor Lamb. He was further to the right than Kopser in a district that was similarly conservative to Texas 21, and he still won by only 627 votes. That's all I have to say.

The title of this video could also apply to the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries.

I will vote for a lesbian any day, than for a "ReBloodican Lite"!!!

[hallvardjupvik]

Cenk will tell me alot of things in a second.

[Seadalgo]

Looks like she lost tonight, as did Laura Moser and Rick Trevino

[snausages]

Looking at the results so far, it looks like she’s going to lose too.

[davidcburn]

This is silly talk. When asked about Impeachment, Mary Wells said we need "deep empathy, " and Kopser said, "I'll hand Trump a shovel so he can continue digging himself the hole he's in." Do your homework. Also, do you have any idea how bad Lamar Smith is? He's held this Congressional seat for 31 years, but you're hot and bothered by Kopser?

[SirBullet]

hahaha I just read that the lesbian lost.

[dvid]

hey cenk it was feminist who came up with the term bernie bros not republicans.

[Levitiy]

University for all is equality of outcome.

[Camelotsmoon]

BRING BACK THE BULL MOOSE PARTY!

STACEY ABRAMS WON!

[oscarjones]

Hate saying it..but progressives were 1 trick pony. Gen z already more conservative. White Bernie Bros are history

[kurtis]

freakin' mattress ad. over 3 minutes of bullshit in the middle of a video that's less than 11min.

[Socrateez]

I really used to like tyt... but once trump got elected they have gone downhill. Super click baity, and over the top now and then. I’ve even seen Cenk get a little Alex jonesish. But this video is mildly hypocritical because tyt has resorted to their own smear campaign...
