    You don't get to pick your special elections but this is a good point for 2018: focus on seats that are winnable.https://twitter.com/AlecMacGillis/status/877346213657534464 …

    Crazy idea: maybe Dems oughta still try for seats they lost not long ago (Midwest, upstate NY) rather than staking future on Sunbelt exurbs.

        Biggest problem with GA6: huge pent up demand for action on left, tiny supply in one (or two) seats up for grabs.

        Wasn't that the mistake Hillary made? Every hot take i heard was that she ignored the rust belt.

        Yes, sure fine. But this is my District and damned if I won't fight for it no matter what the odds. I'm proud of what we did here.

        Exactly. I think we should spend our time on VOTERS we can flip and walk away from draining far left cultists.

        If they don't try for sunbelt exurbs then get crap for not fighting hard enough for possible gains etc.

        A seat that Dems lose by 5% in an off-year summer special election is definitely worth fighting hard for.
