55. you've got to find votes for non-DLC candidates
Y'know, if we 'filter' some of these DLC 'parasites' out of the system what we're likely to end up with in some instances is a repub victory not a more progressive Democrat in office. At least five of the states with DLC Senators also have a repub senator. Those states aren't likely to support a more progressive Democrat. And even some states with two Democrats, like Arkansas, North Dakota, or even Connecticut could easily end up in repub hands if the Democrats pick a candidate too "liberal" for the moderate electorate in those states.
