13. Big talk, but what are you going to do?
I am not mocking you. I agree we need to do something, but to "hold their feet to the fire" we need leverage. What can we do if they ignore us like they have been?

Incumbent Democrats are golden, they never, ever lose in the primary elections. Except once in Lieberman and that was a unique case and he still got reelected.

I am not suggesting we do nothing but we need to find a way to put pressure on them. We won't get any help from the Democratic Party either. They love incumbents.
