In reply to the discussion: Looks like we have a progressive challenger for Dianne Feinstein in CA [View all]Eliot Rosewater
(31,112 posts)Am I a huge fan of Dianne? Nope, but she is a brilliant politician and a liberal Democrat.
Not as liberal as me, but almost nobody is. And she is way better than anyone else I can see capable of running and winning.
If we can put new blood in who know what they are doing and do it without harming the party or risk losing a seat, then we can talk about doing that in specific cases. But seems to me the "progressive" bunch see the Dianne's and even you and me as the enemy.
We are not only not the enemy, we are the party members who votes in every election, keeps up with who does what and why. And as a result we know more than most of them do what it is we dont like about this or that politician, but we also know they are vastly better than the alternative.
