    I think after this cycle we see the progressive block moving back to being ‘independents’

    The thing is, we need to start jockeying for position immediately. Don’t wait until presidential campaigns start rolling around in 3 years before signalling a departure. These things take years to pick up steam.

      Isn’t that what this article is signalling? This is Talib breaking, imo, in the strongest manner possible with the party.

      Talib is a Democrat not endorsing the Democrat for president. This might be Talib doing what Talib thinks she needs to do to hold her seat.

        Perhaps you are right and she is the beginning of it. It will be interesting to see if she picks up a lot more support once the election is over and the focus is no longer on blocking Trump.
