Even if you are quite to the left and think J. Gorsuch should be filibustered, it is self defeating to target red state Dem Senators /1
-
and if Dems do worse in 2018, there's a chance Rs could get 60 votes, and then no LEGISLATION can be filibustered /6
So be outraged at our political situation and pressure where it matters. But be smart, and not just running on outrage 7/7

i think that’s setting the bar pretty low. sanders’ message can work in red states. people respond. not the time to be timid.
-
Sanders's message can attract attention in red states, but neither he nor his message can win elections there.
-
How do you know? The Democratic establishment never tries it. Iron Law of Institutions and all that.
-
Nobody wants to put their money on such long shot. But consider that RW voters turned out Eric Effing Cantor for being too close with Obama.

Dems definitely do worse in 2018. They don't have the people or deas to slow down the white supremacist revanche which has yet to crest. 1/2
-
They also have done nothing to address and remedy the fact that Dem voters do not turn out for midterms. 2/2

Smart is always best, but don't underestimate how far sheer outrage can take us.

Wrote Donnelly (my Sen) and asked for a NO vote for very specific reasons, based on Gorsuch's history on the bench and some bad decisions.

25 Dem/Ind seats up vs 9 Rep. Highly unlikely we retake Senate anyway. I'm sick to death of being told to put my progressive beliefs on ice

Some on the left really are that ignorant (see Blanche Lincoln) but they may not be alone. You also can't rule out provocateurs nowadays.
