How do you know who is a "traitor"?
If they assisted or supported what happened on January 6th, they are a "traitor".
If they voted against certification of the electoral votes, after the attack upon our Capitol, then they are traitors.
If they promoted or were silent on the lies of Donald Trump, especially the "Big Lie", then they have betrayed our country and our democracy. They act as if the only competition to Donald Trump was Tony Soprano. Regardless the state of their delusion, we do not need a crime boss as the leader of our country.
Most people know who they are and will vote accordingly. Democrats should make sure they do not run for re-election unchallenged. They should be exposed for the traitors that they are.

However, the absolute first priority is to protect Democratic Incumbents.
The second priority is to try to increase our cushion by defeating Republicans in WINNABLE seats.
Burning your cash to support Democrats running against "traitors" who are in absolutely safe seats may make you feel virtuous, but the way to deal with them is to ensure they're in an ineffective minority.

I do not agree with the philosophy of surrendering any seats without a challenge. Money in today's politics is seldom a problem. It is more about message, in my opinion.
