    To run as a Democrat in ND is to automatically lose. The portion of the electorate that will refuse to look beyond the team sports identity is so huge, if you actually want to participate, you have to technically be a member of the correct “team”.

      I am amazed at how broadly your comment could be applied to nearly all political scenarios. There are three independents or non-blue/red in all of both houses of congress. And one of them is Simena who got elected as a Dem I believe.
