Can we please focus on the utter stupidity of what Kingpoleon posted for a second?
Republicans have done the same thing by targeting Former Senators Landrieu, Begich, and Bayh. This prevalence of party and ideology before country and unity is a bipartisan affair, and both parties are responsible for it.
I definitely sympathize with the idea that it'd be better for the country if there were more conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans, but it's not parties' responsibility to empower the other party. You cannot blame Democrats for wanting to win Nevada, and you cannot blame Republicans for wanting to win Louisiana or Indiana. You cannot expect actors to act altruistically, and frankly it's bizarre to say they should.

But Wolfentoad's insane hackishness is, indeed, mind-blowing.

That's not true, and you know it. Moderates haven't been targeted by the opposite party because they were moderates. They have been targeted by the opposite party because their seats were competitive. Their seats were competitive because many voters there preferred the opposite party. Hence why the opposite party unseated them. It's called democracy.
I totally agree with this. Seats do not "belong" to a certain party, whether they send moderates to D.C. or not. Electoral competition is extremely important.

You're basically asking democrats to concede control of the Senate to the republicans.
Not really, because he also demands this from Republicans.
