1. I agree with you.
The way to get the Dems to be MORE progressive is for us to be a more "reliable base". If we want the Blue Dogs to be marginalized, then we need to vote in MORE Dems, not less.

We need to make being the DEM candidate in any election, in any district a POSITIVE thing. The more Dems we put in office, the further LEFT the legislators can move.

If we want the blue dogs to lose power, add more Dems to Congress.

This "enthusiasm gap" is nonsense, and Dems who will "stay home" because they are "disappointed" are political fools.
