Primaries, man.

They really are the best way for us to work within the current structure to make positive change. Heated primary battles are good so long as they do not make people utterly despite the other candidates, because your favored candidate might not win the nomination. After the primary, vote with the party so we can keep the seats, then work on the next primary strategy to get more progressives on the ballots for the next general election.

Anything else, I firmly believe, is shooting yourself in the foot.
