Illinois

lipinski is all that is wrong w our party. he is part of the rightward drag.
this is a safe district. i could argue that we shouldnt primary shitty dems in purple districts. but, imho, there is no way newman loses if she wins the primary.

and even so, on general principle, yes, when we primaried bean, we got joe walsh. but he only got one term, and tammy duckworth kicked his ass. now they have raja.
sometimes ya gotta take one for the team.

imho, there is no room in the party for "pro-life" (fetal life, period) dems, but i know that is not doctrine.
in a blue state, and a blue district, no, they dont belong.
