I’m not sure who the “we” would be – the principals of this blog are usually pretty clear on candidates they support – but in any event the general elections are way off. It isn’t a bad time to get behind people for the primaries, if that’s what one wants to do, but the biggest impact for national policy is after the primaries, once candidates have been selected, and in any event I think the Democrats in a given district have the right to pick their local nominee for themselves. Outside money – whether it is from the DCCC or ActBlue – is often supporting an agenda which is uninformed w/r to the local needs.
(Last election @doctorow blogged about giving money to a candidate in my district. I understand that some of his rhetoric and positions made him attractive to someone from the outside, but he was someone I’ve known for years and who I wouldn’t trust to walk my dog; the donation kind of pissed me off.)
