We need some DINO's in Congress. [View all]

Last edited Fri Nov 10, 2017, 05:42 PM - Edit history (1)

When we lost almost all our DINO's (Manchin in WVA being one of the few remaining), the Democrats who progressives complained weren't pure enough Dems, we also lost our majorities in the House and the Senate.

Without majorities, we lose all control of legislation and committees -- and we give them the opportunity to pass anything they can on a party line vote.

It's time to once again encourage mostly-Dems, and moderate Dems, and centrist Dems -- the whole range of not-pure-progressive Dems who live in red and purple districts and states -- and build up our majorities in Congress again.
