(5,871 posts)* groups like "Justice Democrats" and "Our Revolution". Fact of the matter is that even in "safe" districts, Vermont-style politicians and philosophies are not always welcome or popular. The sensibilities will vary depending on the region. In the end, the people elect the candidate that best represents their interests and beliefs. It take a certain level of arrogance for him to proclaim that the voters who elected the Democrat of their choosing should have chosen someone else instead. It's a dangerous game he's playing. After he "bloodies" and "bankrupts" an incumbent Democrat with an unnecessary primary, that just makes it easier for the Republican challenger to win. In the end, the smartest move would be to spend ALL of our time, effort and money to replace Republicans. We will only gain the majority (and control of congress) by ELIMINATING Republicans and REPLACING them with Democrats. It's a fool's errand and a waste of limited resources to try an swap one Democrat with another Democrat for a net gain of ZERO.
