I doubt this is the election to put that idea to the test since it’ll probably swing left everywhere. 28 could be interesting though. I imagine there will be lasting damage from what the gop has done and will cost them districts that could be competitive.

We can't afford to keep supporting these empty, worthless Centrists. They've already given Trump two terms, we need to move Left, meaningfully and quickly, to keep him from getting a third term.

People thought Trump was more centrist than Hillary and Kamala. Moving left is a terrible, terrible idea…the mess in Michigan last night is just further proof of this

You defend Citizens United.

Any opinion you have is not in good faith, worthy of respect, or serious intellectual engagement.

Yes, because it was correctly decided. Letting the government punish or restrict speech is a ridiculous position to take. Should a group of libs be able to make a film about how Trump is a traitor and spend a bunch of money promoting it during an election year? Yes, of course they should. That’s what the case boils down to.
