In reply to the discussion: A Major Democratic Donor Is Reconsidering Support For Senators Who Pushed For Al Franken's... [View all]Demsrule86
(68,997 posts)I saw no celebrations. Now while I was very angry with the Franken thing as some may remember, it is time to move on. There is no good that can be achieved by punishing Democrats you disagree with. There never is. Don't primary a sitting Democrat and don't withhold your vote in order to 'send a message' The message that will be sent is of a GOP victory ( that will show them right?). We have a GOP controlled Government save the money and time...use it to kick out as many Republicans as we can. Why do you suppose the GOP wanted Franken out? Incumbents have an advantage. This pernicious idea that we need to punish 38 Senators because they called for Franken's resignation could limit our chances of taking the House and maybe the Senate...many on this thread act like it is a shoo in that we will win...consider Democrats won by 10 points in Virginia and still didn't get the legislature...such is the power of a gerrymander. We simply don't need divisive shit at this time. All hands on deck; Time to stop this and work towards a Dem wave in 18 and of course electing a Democratic president in 20. That is our only priority or should be.
