Claire McCaskill needs our help, not our condemnation.

McCaskill is going to win her primary. I don't see it any other way. Sorry about that. I understand Angela Earl is backed by Revolution Funding and Local Berniecrats and that many of these articles we are seeing are simply being pushed to make them more entrenched in their "anti-establishment" views. That doesn't mean we shouldn't recognize it all for what it is. Ratfucking. I am calling the outsiders with a clear history of pushing propaganda to be ratfuckers, not the people on the ground who prefer one person over another.

We have seen a rash of articles coming from places like Slate, by authors with a history of right wing leanings, who are including "Bernie Wing" in almost all articles they write these days. This is becoming an extremely common practice and some don't seem to be recognizing it. The authors of these articles are almost never from the state they are commenting on and have a history of writing articles clearly designed to divide us.

Please look at this race in Missouri. This might be a seat we easily lose. Many acting as if they are from the left are working toward that goal. A hard fought primary isn't a bad thing. But outsiders are interjecting themselves and hurting our odds for the general. They have far too many willing accomplices. Call yourself a Berniecrat. Claim you are from the Clinton wing. Praise allegiance to Warren. I prefer to go with Democrat. I also prefer we hold this fucking seat.

1. She can have both. There is nothing wrong

with noting weaknesses in our representatives and holding their feet to the fire, even while we send them money or assist their campaigns.

5. I don't disagree with a word you say.

It is also not in concert with the clear attempt to divide us by some of these national agenda driven authors with a clear history. That is my point. They are holding no ones feet to the fire yet are some of the highest commented on articles you will find on DU.

Whose feet is Charlie Mahtesian holding to the fire? No ones. He has been used here to divide us.

2. Speaking of Missouri

What the hell happened to that state. It has now become like Mississippi. It use to be a competitive state....I hope that Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, and Pennsylvania do not take the same path.

6. I agree

Notice how seamlessly the radical left shifts into their go to defense?

"We can ratfuck and support mainstream Democrats!"

Then when we confront them with the objective facts of Al Gore and Hillary Clinton they deny, deny, deny. It's the old story of the scorpion stinging the snake in the middle of the river. Scorpions will be scorpions. The radical left will be ratfuckers.

7. There are ads running that vilify her non-stop

Some PAC runs ads constantly in MO where a mom claims Senator McCaskill referred to $2000 tax cuts given to MO working families as crumbs. The actress defends her crumbs and is indignant. She infers that Senator McCaskill is anti-family.

The ad has ominous music underlying it and the picture they show of McCaskill is darkened and shadowy. They paint her as a villain. The loud and clear message is that we are to believe Senator McCaskill is a bad woman who wants to hurt working families.

She should not have to fight off attacks from both the left and the right. The right is already attacking her non-stop.

8. Agreed

We need this Senate seat
