For the first time the Dem fundraising emails I get are bashing what they call "Establishment Democrats" and encouraging voters to replace them with hard left Dems in the coming party primaries. One of the organizations doing this is Justice Democrats ... their website
An example of the rhetoric concerns the Dem primary in Mo. with Bel vs. Cori:
quote:

Last June, Bell was one of 75 establishment Democrats who joined Republicans and voted to express “gratitude” to ICE for “protecting the homeland.”

quote:

In Cori’s words, “St. Louis needs and deserves a leader who understands that ICE must be abolished to keep our communities safe.

This will create a problem for Dems running in states that are not hard left. They'll have to sound moderate for a chance to win but it will cost them fundraising money from Dem leadership that is much farther left these days.

I think Republicans should take a page from the Democrats 2022 playbook and work towards helping the looney Democrats taking on the established ones in the primaries.

That’s good news. They should now get their asses stomped in the midterms.

They've been doing this for awhile, Republicans don't seem to ever capitalize on it.

Hillary said that the trans issue would undo them, I think she's right, I also think every republican should make the democrat take a stand on the issue and then drive that one home.

Their base is far more leftist than most congressional reps just like the GOP base is far more MAGA/AF than their establishment reps in DC.

The real battle politically would be socialist globalists vs MAGA/AF nationalists, everything else is a distraction to allow the big money interests to continue to maintain power over the financial and political structures while giving the false perception of control to the disenfranchised voters.

I mean we have the same thing on the right.

The only thing is now you have bat shite crazy democrats running against just crazy democrats.

And there are far more bat shite crazy democrats then the just crazy democrats want to believe.

This is a problem because it will drive the independents to vote for the republican candidates.

Disagree. They just happen to be the loudest.
