FFS can we PLEASE get some new Dem candidates for CA Senate in 2018?

21. Nope, not a purity test.

As far as I'm concerned, it's still all about the economy, mixed in with a metric shit ton of Russian collusion and classic disinformation and sewed up with gerrymandering and vote hacking. THAT'S how we ended up with 45.

Do you think 45 would have had any traction in any of the Rust Belt states if they hadn't felt as though they'd been left behind?

(By the way, if you haven't read "Hillbilly Elegy," I strongly recommend it.)

So, purity test aside, why isn't it abundantly clear to everyone that Dems stand for the middle class?
Why is it okay that it costs $250,000 to put a kid through college?
Why is Eric Prince still allowed to extol the virtues of fighting wars with a privatized army?
Why can't we really take the profit motive out of health care?

"Pure enough" is bullshit. You're either for the middle class, or you aren't. The Kennedys were rich, but they were fairly progressive for their time.

But my original point is that DiFi really needs to retire gracefully instead of creating a shitty primary situation that could potentially allow a Repub (with enough Koch Brothers/Robert Mercer funding) to come out of nowhere and take advantage of the ranked choice. And no, I'm not good with electing someone who will be 91 years old at the end of her term to represent a state of 39.25 million.
