The Tuesday night primaries saw some historic firsts for the democratic party as they nominated a transgender woman for governor of Vermont, an African-American Woman for congress in Connecticut and a Muslim man for Attorney General in Minnesota.
These historic firsts come as the Democratic party re-evaluates and re-organizes the party in the midwest making a notable turn towards what could be a more progressive future for the Dems.

My Commentary:
I'm hopeful but also skeptical as I would really like America to be more progressive BUT every time we are promised a progressive candidate it's always a lie to get in another corporate shill...
I will keep my hopes up but I'm not going to make any bets on it.
