(69,033 posts)runoff...sounds like people voted...and you are simply tearing down the Democratic Party. Democrats are the only party that can stop Trump and the Republicans. And there is nothing wrong in considering electability as well as ideology...in fact if you don't, than you are setting up a loss. Moser has baggage...the 50,000 to her husband's consulting firm ( that is 1 in 6 campaign dollars) and the comments about Texas are problematic. I would vote for her in a general for sure but not a primary. It is the DCCC's job to elect Democrats. I think they were a bit heavy handed but they were right. We have a real shot at this seat and desperately need to take back the house in order to stop Trump's assault on Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security as well as the environment and the economy...not to mention DACA. We are in a tough spot in the Senate...not only could we lose seats, the GOP could end up with a working majority. God help us then. We need the House to stop Trump and the Republicans. Now, I am very liberal...more so than Pres. Obama in fact, but I don't give a damn about ideology this particular election especially in red states. We have a gerrymander and must overperform in order to take the House. It is desperately important that we win the House in 18. All this angst about ideology in red states for heaven's sake is ridiculous because people the house is on fire. We are so screwed if we don't get the House in 18. I would like the Senate too...but failing that the house is everything. Honestly ideology is not worth a damn if you lose. There is no righteousness in losing when people are depending on you to stop Republicans and the fascist monster that is Trump. We need a big tent solution in order to get back in the majority...there is no other way to hold a majority in the Senate. And we need to support candidates who can win their states. Not where If I remember correctly where you live which is California.
