We have Abdul El-Sayed this go-around, for the same office, who actually has a history of being a progressive, a union member, and somewhat anti-imperialist. The difference is that he'd be flipping a centrist Democrat seat instead of an old-guard Republican seat. Gram Planter is the logical continuation of Blue No Matter Who, where the party composition of Congress justifies any and all means to achieve it.

Right but the primaries for seats they hold matter less to them than the primaries dor seats they don't hold. The exact political positions are secondary to the parliamentary operation.
