Because of the advice on how to run my local politics that doesn't work around here.
If the recent passage of The Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act was a one off; that would be excellent advice.
The problem with the tactics as laid out in the link above is that we have been doing that!
What started us doing what is suggested was the utter inability to get any movement on carry rights while even IOWA made advances.
We managed to change a few names, but it appears that the indoctrination into The Party makes them forget who brought them to the dance.
What now? indeed.
What we need to do is bleed them. Do the primary challenge that nukes their chances and might hand it to the other side. To show them that we're willing to take the risk of a Dem getting the seat because we can't count on the Republicans any more.
They have to either fear us or owe us. I prefer fear because they're a bunch of ingrates.
Like a local radio show says to here: "Once they get elected they're all in the same party, the bacon wrapped shrimp party.
