There are absolutely certain, very select places we should look at primaries to get more progressive candidates. Places like the West Virginia seat in the Senate held by a "Democrat" isn't on that list, for example.

We should be very careful about which places we want to primary. The neolib-leaning Dems are not the primary problem in this country. They're a relatively small (in comparison) factor.

My ideal is that the Dems win so much that the Republicans stop being a competitive party. One party rule isn't going to last long. We'd have the same kind of infighting that either party has now when they get control, and if the "one party" thing lasted long enough, it'd split. THAT would be the time to gear up against the neolibs.

I understand this is a slow, frustrating process. And who knows if we can even keep traction to get started. But most importantly I'm sick of our getting stuck in the mud and deciding that the problem is that we're not slamming the pedal hard enough.
