Sweeping Democratic victories in off-year elections seem to be foreshadowing a very good midterms for the party, and one expert believes it’s even bigger than that.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to fundamentally transform legislative power,” Heather Williams, president of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC), which focuses on electing Democrats to statehouses, told Mother Jones.

    Wether we should or shouldn’t doesn’t matter since the last election showed people will either stay home or defect if Dems run another Corpo shilling milquetoast do nothing right of center candidate.

    I’ll still vote for them just to spite the Fascist Right Cunts but I certainly won’t like it and I will certainly bitch about it.

      Just be aware that you’re not bitching into a vacuum. Think about the consequences.

      I do think there’s room to bitch, but it’s important to be smart about it.

      And yeah, let’s win some primaries. I’m not compromising in the primaries. And I’m not going to be fooled by a run slightly left to be followed by a run towards center-right.
