<p>^^Correction, a-dad. Nearly every district and even most Senate seats are “safe.” </p>
<p>There are “hardliners” in safe districts in every state, both on the left and on the right, in both the Senate and the House. (Chuck Shumer is Exhibit A for the former.) The ‘middle’ has shrunk so much that is essentially nonexistent. </p>
<p>Over time, collectively, we have voted the middle out of office.</p>
<p>(I’d better stop here, less this thread get too political.)</p>
<p>Happy New Years to everyone on cc.</p>
