that one should run for every seat and not let republicans run unopposed even in very red districts. GA-6 where Ossof is running is very red and yet he might win. he is ahead by 1 in the polls.

we should challenge every seat all the way down to dog catcher if needs be. We may not win all of them but it will keep the momentum and get name recognition for those who do run. Eventually we will prevail. In 2010, the gop won 63 seats in congress after the aca vote. We are on a course to return the favor in 2018.
