Good! Then we can have no illusions that we either primary our opponents or, failing a successful primary that we vote for the Dem as a group. There are many deep staters who can survive us staying home in the general. There are very few that can survive a 10% swing of us voting for the Dem in the general, just to be rid of the deep state (r). We can never have political power unless we cast the deep state r 's out by any means necessary.
