Perhaps the only way to fix our democracy?

[kentuck]

Is to vote out every single Republican that continues to support Trump or has been silent during this entire sordid, disastrous mess.

Put in an all-court press to defeat every Trumpster now in office. Encourage other Republicans to run against them. Sweep them out of our political system.

And then, fumigate the place.

They need to fear the voters more than they fear Donald Trump.

1. This!!

[NurseJackie]

2. That's already the plan, right?

[kentuck]

3. I don't know?

How many will run unopposed in the next election?

[NurseJackie]

4. Not every Republican who's "running unopposed" is vulnerable. Why spend money...

... to run a Democrat in a race that's already a safe Republican stronghold. That doesn't seem to be smart. Wouldn't it be better to spend money wisely and target only the most vulnerable Republicans? This hair-on-fire shotgun approach would be a waste of resources and talent. It would dilute the effectiveness of our limited funds.

[kentuck]

7. How do we know they are not vulnerable?

If they are challenged by a primary opponent? Especially if they have supported Trump and the Insurrection?

[NurseJackie]

10. Because we're not blind enough to spend money foolishly...

... on races that aren't winnable. It's not that difficult to know which Republicans are vulnerable. We need to be smart, not emotional.

Especially if they have supported Trump and the Insurrection?

Depending on the state or region, something like that will definitely be an advantage to the Republican.

[kentuck]

13. I guess Margie Taylor Green, Matt Gaetz, and those types should not be challenged?

MTG won her race with about 70% of the vote, as I recall?

I really do not support the theory that you should not try to compete if you are behind in the polls. Quite the opposite, I believe those are the races we should try to win.

[NurseJackie]

14. I'm glad our party leaders do not live in a fantasy world...

... and that they choose battles that are winnable rather than wasting money on lost causes. Being realistic is better than being emotional.

[kentuck]

15. Like the $100 million dollars they wasted in KY and SC in the last election?

They do it all the time. But how do you know who is going to win before the votes are counted? Why even have races at all? Just give the seats to the favorites and forget about campaigning.

[NurseJackie]

16. We must be smart, not emotional and rash.

Anything else is foolish.

[kentuck]

17. What is "emotional or rash" about challenging these nuts..."

...that tried to overthrow our democracy?

[NurseJackie]

18. I've told you already.

Sorry, bub... repeating the question won't change the answer. I'm glad that our party leaders are experienced and smart and rational.

[kentuck]

19. I'm glad they are all geniuses, also.

We can all sleep much better at night knowing they are all so brilliant.

[NurseJackie]

20. Yes. And far better than emotional amateurs on Twitter....

... and others who engage in kooky conspiracy theories about the Biden administration and AG Garland.

[kentuck]

21. It's true.

Many of them are dumber than a box of rocks.

8. I wish Senator Cotten at least had a competitor

Typically if there is opposition then skeletons are found. Cotton has had a free election season for awhile.

[rickyhall]

11. He ain't up again till 2026, I think.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

5. We need to get every trump ass kisser

Out of all branches of government these assholes have infected and when Dems get real control we can impeach kavanaugh and the" hand maiden".

[brooklynite]

6. Naive...

Assumes all races are competitive. Almost all of them aren't.

The competitive seats are probably the Republicans who aren't pro-Trump.

9. "...to vote out .." how?!?! There's no GOTv anti voter access and nullification laws

[WarGamer]

12. Fix our Democracy or finally FORM a Democracy here?

I'd argue that the original version from the 18th Century is far from a Democracy, a fixed arrangement to benefit some and disenfranchise most.
