To All: Should Dan Lipinski be Primaried?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

No, absolutely not. He is one of the best Democrats in Congress. His brave stand for life and his important voice against the Iran deal/foreign policy in general is a rarity nowadays in the Democratic Party.

Some people on this forum are hilariously deluded. Obviously Lipinski has a particular appeal in his district given the demographics of his constituents, but this is a district Clinton won by 15% (by an even larger margin than Obama in 2012, too!); literally any Democrat nominated would have no trouble holding this district in a general election.

Uh, no. I agree Lipinski should be primaried, but Bernie would have done worse than Obama 2012 here. To Tim Turner's point, Lipinski has been primaried many times. He got 87% of the vote in the 2012 primary, 73% in 2008, and 55% in 2006.

Sanders won this district in the primary, though?

Because working class whites were angry at Hillary, not because they wanted a socialist.  It's the same im most Northern places Bernie won.  His supporters don't understand that.

And WV too. Hopefully they will wake up when Swearingen gets absolutely cucked in the primaries next year.

Thank god IL 3rd is made up of decent humans with good bearings and common sense, otherwise they would be deceived into voting for candidates who literally would only have backing from out of state nancy pelosi esq interest groups. Dan cares about the people, people like SJoyce are just looking to flip a seat, and ignore it afterwards.
