Knowing of the people involved (at least on the BNC side), the "strategy" they're trying to adopt, and their organizing philosophy, I feel really sorry for the recruits. They're going to get no support, no (useful) training, and are just gonna lose horribly.

"Justice Democrats" in TX-14, AR-03 and even FL-27? I did't know whether it's better to weep or laugh loudly....

When we actually figure out how to campaign, I think the results will surprise you. Unfortunately...

The one in AR-03 is a Republican.

Also I don't think being a progressive is a death sentence in FL-27, unless you're also a terrible candidate in addition to being a progressive.

We already have JJR, the best possible candidate in the district.  There's no need for a random True Left some dude.

It's still good to give these guys a scare in the primary so that they feel pressure to commit to supporting Medicare for All, 15$ minimum wage etc. once elected.

No it isn't, it's a waste of resources.

We really just need a Grover Norquist type with like, 3 million dollars from NNU, AFLCIO, etc to run around threatening safe/swing Dems with negative ads if they don't sign a Medicare For All pledge.

I'd like to see selective targeting of safe seat Dems who've actually caused problems like Tom Carper and the IDC.  Also Grover Norquist is awful, we shouldn't be imitating him.

Norquist did have a picture of Lenin in his office because he admired how Lenin came to power.

He's awful because of what he's pursuing. I don't make a regular practice of arguing with results, though.
