True. But, we’ve been through this before. He’ll lose. Fooling voters with running only an Indy and no Dem isn’t going to work. People talk. At grocery stores. At church. At bars. I’d be shocked if the race is within 5% in the end.

I agree, but I still forked over $40 to his campaign tonight. The attempt is necessary, because if the Democrats win Senate seats only where Harris wins, they are likely to end up short.

It's not just that. It's also establishing a brand and connecting to voters that we otherwise are at risk of losing to fringe sychophants and brainwashing from conservative radio and religious indoctrination. Besides, it's not as if there haven't been victories in conservative places, otherwise we wouldn't have Mary Peltola and Jared Golden or a Democratic governor in Kansas and Kentucky for that matter. The effort can and should be made, especially if there's a real possibility of victory. Otherwise we're just conceding without even putting up a fight.
