(31,849 posts)Job Number 1, in the run-up to the 2014 General elections, for Democrats and the Left, should be to smack the hell out of republicans. Period.
Maybe with a more Democratic House and more solid Democratic Senate, we will see less awful stuff; but, we KNOW with a less Democratic House and a less Democratic Senate (after 2014), we will see more awful stuff.
Sometimes, you play offense (e.g., through the primary season) and sometimes you play defense (e.g., after the primary season).
But take heart, after the 2014 General Election, you'll have a full 16 months (until the 2016 primaries) to resume your regularly scheduled programming of attacking Democrats. Hopefully, the 2016 primaries will produce a field of sufficiently progressive candidates for you to support in the 2016 General Election.
But to answer your question ... the Left's constant criticism of Democrats does not encourage Democratic leaners to come out to vote. So perhaps, you'll strike a new, and completely foreign strategy ... maybe, you'll venture smacking the hell out of republicans WILL get Democratic leaners out to the polls?
