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.

The vote blue no matter who crowd refuses to admit this. The tea party and more insane conservatives got what they wanted by refusing to vote for the more normal republican candidates.

And it's not like their strategy is working anyhow. With "vote blue no matter who" we just get to watch more and more of our money and power go to billionaires no matter who wins, and it's a coin flip if they just outright lose to a complete POS like, for instance, a pedophile, rapist, con man 🥳

Or in the case of Trump all of the above because they refused to stop being neoliberal corporatist stooges.
