Liberal group identifies "Good Democrats," encourages primaries

[Miles]

Its called "Primary Colors."

They rank each Democrat based on how liberal their record is vs how liberal you'd expect them to be. Those who aren't as progressive as you'd expect should be targeted for primaries.

[Joshgreen]

Their rankings are kind of jank though...

I love how their number one senator to be primaried is an independent

Angus King is no Democrat (and for that matter neither is Bernie Sanders) so than how is one supposed to "Primary" them? (Especially King who's actually on their list)

[free my dawg]

Proud that the least "primary-able" Democrat represents me.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

Of course they don't primary Democrats in competitive districts, can't risk Republicans getting elected.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

If only the right would be similarily so strategic.

[Mordecai]

That's pretty cool but it was dumb of them to include Sanders and King as Democrats there, regardless of their membership in the Democratic caucus.

More or less reasonable approach. At least - much more then those of "activists": "either you are with us completely or you are our enemy...." BTW - Matheson, McIntyre and Barrow turn to be "good Democrats", and i am in complete agreement with that...

I would recommend Republicans to do the same.. But in their case most primaries would come "from the left", because typical Republican is, usually, more conservative then fits the district...)))

Tim Walberg in MI-07 fits this description.

The Dems are getting their own Tea Party on.

lolwut? They aren't saying things like 'Ted Cruz is Hitler' or 'Straight people are as good as people who have sex with dogs'.

They aren't trying to limit constitutional rights to straight people either.

A website maintained by two guys who say we should target a handful of blue dogs in Safe D districts isn't exactly comparable to the tea party

Dude first off I wasn't accusing of this group that want to primary Dems from the left of using inflammatory rhetoric.

The Republicans aren't for Gay Marriage. I just don't see why Dems like yourself have to make a thing about it.

I don't understand why Chuck Schumer isn't flagged up for removal, but Angus King is. That alone makes me highly suspicious of the rankings used.

You guys want to get rid of Schumer? I don't see why.

Summer voted for the Iraq war, voted for the PATRIOT Act, supported Iran sanctions, supported U.S. intervention in Syria, supported NSA spying, and supported SOPA. He's probably one of my top five senators to primary.

I'd be pleased to see those primary-able south Texas Dems get taken out. But I approve of Gallego's safe status.

You were accusing of them making a left-wing Tea Party. Those are things we've seen at protests, and what the leaders of this godawful group have said in countless interviews

Oh, and we care about the rights of human beings. You know.

No what I was saying was this Dem group is giving Dems primaries from the left the way Tea Partiers are giving Tea Partiers challenges to the right of Establishment Republicans. That's all. It looks like that guy had to much coffee in the morning in that video. He was acting a little crazy.
