3. Did you ask the DSCC about its policy of avoiding primaries, especially of incumbents?

(most incumbents NOT being liberal).



We’re fighting to protect our Democratic champions, and we’re recruiting outstanding candidates across the nation to challenge obstructionist Republicans.


http://www.dscc.org/about (Read fighting for incumbents, no matter what, as always.)

Did you ask why the DSCC did so poorly in the last two midterms? Did you ask them to say hi to Senators Lamont, Halter, Meek and Sestak? Did you ask them to say hi to all the members of the nonexistent Senate Progressive Caucus? (Senator Sanders caucuses with the shrinking House Progressive Caucus.)

BTW, isn't Blue Dog Tester head of the DSCC now? And isn't endorser of Republicans, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, head of the DNC now? And didn't she succeed Blue Dog Tim Kaine?

"My fellow progressives," aka, fundraising spiel to give if someone with half a brain answers the phone. There is at this point no DSCC fundraising spiel to give if someone with a whole brain answers the phones. Maybe they'll get that version ready before they call you again. Should be interesting. Fingers crossed!
