But the downside is that the Repubs have pretty much demonstrated that they're not going to give us what we need.

The Republicans are drinking the purple kool-aid, too.

So, what are our alternatives? Perhaps enough races getting tossed to the Dems will demonstrate to the Repubs that they had better start shrinking government.

That's the way the Socialist Party was able to infiltrate their agenda into the Dem/Repub parties. They became enough of a pain in the a** to the other parties that they had to assimilate the Socialists in order to keep power.

A 5% rightward shift in one half of one body of the three branches of government (i.e. five more Republican Senate seats) would mean the tax cut would be $750 billion, not $350 billion, every judicial nominee Democrats are filibustering would be sitting on the bench and SCOTUS would be safe from the machinations of Ruth Bader Ginsbergs for the next 30 years.

That is how close it is. Yet you want to toss that all aside and elect more Democrats to teach Republicans a lesson.

Makes no sense to me.
