Reply #13: This poll is totally missing the point [View All]

The world is not black and white, this or that, either-or. That's total bullshit.

When someone like Biden and a few others cross over to the dark side to vote in an atrocity like this bankruptcy bill that's on the floor now, I think a strong message should be sent to Biden and some others.

If we want to keep Biden, then what we could do is threaten to run an opponent against him. If he does not mend his way, then more stringent measures will have to be applied as well such as a "name-and-shame" campaign against him.

If name-and-shame with threats don't work, then it's about time we seriously search for an uncompromised progressive who actually has a chance against the incumbent and RUN HIM. Of course, this would be the last resort.

The point is there are ways to twist the arms of senators and representatives who may go out of line without having to resort to challenging them and perhaps booting them.
