MINOT — When state Sen. Merrill Piepkorn, gubernatorial candidate for the Democratic-NPL, joined this episode of Plain Talk with my co-host Chad Oban and me, the first question I wanted to ask him was how he plans to unite North Dakota voters at a time when even Republicans here seem deeply divided against themselves.
After a joke about getting to the point right away, Piepkorn said he thinks the right approach is "making the effort" to get to know people and understand their issues.
The candidate says one of the challenges Democrats running in North Dakota have is that they get lumped in with the national Democratic brand. Which, he argues, isn't nearly as moderate as the North Dakota iteration of the party.
"I don't even know what AOC stands for," he said, referring to the oft-used initials of U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the most visible national figures representing the progressive wing of the Democratic party.

“how he plans to unite North Dakota voters “
That is the stupidest, most lazy journalist and prog question ever. You simply cannot unite baby-killing, totalitarian communists and freedom-loving Americans.
Oh, that image right there gets an invite to my “rainbow” party.
I heard it stood for Absence of Cortex
Airhead of Congress.
Alexandria Occasionally Coherent
Socialism sodomy & death to America! Pretty much sums it p. Yet the author can’t seem to figure it out!
Absence Of Cognition
Arrogant
Obnoxious
Crazy
(or, a different c word also fits)
Annoying Obnoxious Communist.
Looks like a Fidel Castro pose.
An Oily C87t.
Merill lives in Fargo and is a member of the Fargo City Commission. AOC graduated from North Dakota State University, NDSU. He should have known that.
Opps! I have my squad members mixed up. LLhan Omar from Minnesota graduated from NDSU.
AOC represents the progressive liberal.. dumb as a box of rocks and wrong about everything like Biden.
Buck teeth & big boobs.
And any left-wing anything that rolls around.
Glad to help.
He look like a piepcorn.
