Should the Democrats just throw the 2016 Presidential election?

I don't think having some centrist 3rd way President is worth having us getting destroyed in the House, Senate, Governorships, and local races. I think the Democrats might be best losing, but not too badly. They can probably net a couple of Senate seats, keep the House about the same. Then spend the next 2 years attacking the Republicans non-stop for everything they do. If all goes right, 2018 and 2020 can be good years for the Democrats, and they can ungerrymander the states.

I know this sounds crazy, but this last election calls for drastic action.

LOL, we're having this thread again. No, it's a terrible idea. It probably wouldn't even work so far as winning more seats in Congress goes - you might win more in the midterms, but you'd be more likely than not to suffer in the Presidential year. Also, the midterm bonus is in part a reversion to the mean, it may cease to exist if you tried to game it by throwing elections.

There's more than just Congress. The 2018 and 2020 state elections are important for redistricting.
