Check out Knock Down The House

For an amazing documentary that gives a birds eye view of the 2018 congressional race run by four candidates, check out Knock Down The House. 

The four women in the documentary, top left - Paula Jean Swearengin, top right - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, bottom left - Amy Vilela, bottom right - Cori Bush.

The four women featured in the documentary have a voice that reflects a working class, logical viewpoint that in many respects aligns with traditional republican values.  I use the word republican by the definition one can find in any dictionary: a person who believes that the citizens have the right to choose who represents them in government. It's government for the people, with the people, and by the people.

I realize this definition is an idealized version but that is what America is supposed to be striving for, ever forward, not mired in toxic practices of the past.
