(55,981 posts)like Sen Warren, Sen Sanders, and Rep Grayson, it would encourage the Democratic base. But it seems many Democratic incumbents are afraid to take a hard stand against the statue quo. Hell, there are a lot of posters here in DU that love the status quo, and they sure as hell aint on the left.
The lame-ass corporate-conservative-centrists are happy with the status quo and probably will stay home like they did in 2010. And then turn around and blame the left. In 2010 when I was working the GOTV phone lines and looked around, I didnt see any centrists. The left that I know are active in local politics, and are very active in GOTV. I was just at a panel discussion where they discussed backing a Constitutional Amendment to turn around Citizens United. Those attending were from the left.
