Yes, some of hem will be blue dems, third way, or belong to some other detested sub group of the Democratic party. Not one of them will be a Republican.
If we all go out, and make the best choice we can from the list of available candidates, we have a good chance of keeping the White House and taking the Senate. On a really good year, we might even take the House.
If we take the House, we set the legislative agenda. We can do some good things.
All it takes is to go out in the general election and vote for the best applicant for the job.
Primaries are different. In primaries, we can fight over the essence of the Democratic Party. In the general, the best choice in most cases will be easy, because the other side is intolerable.
