Why oh why are you people who choose the rec list failing to give high prominence to the fact there is a Louisiana runoff for U.S. Senate on December 10 ?

"One thing anyone can do today is to either donate or phone bank for Foster Campbell who is the Democratic candidate in the December 10th Louisiana run-off for U. S. Senate. You don’t have to be in Louisiana to do either of these things.
He is not favored but election fatigue may make an upset possible if turnout can be amped up. It would be much better to have 49 Dems in the Senate as opposed to 48."

"Foster Campbell’s runoff election ends on December 10th. Why isn’t he at the top of the rec list? Why isn’t he the entire rec list? Where is he on the front page? Are you activists or what?
Maybe you all really think you can convince that brainwashed Neoliberal diarist you hate to join the Revolution with a solid diary title of your own. Maybe you all actually believe that Bernie Bro Purity Troll commenter you can’t stand will see the light and support the nominee next time if only you get the right fucking zinger in your response. Or maybe you’re spending your time preaching about Trump to the choir by reblogging shit we all see on HuffPo already.
A diary about that shit DOES NOT MATTER. Not for the next 10 days. You are wasting your time on being right instead of electing more and better democrats.
This is a red seat we can take, and in a runoff the side who tries harder wins, period. 2018 does NOT favor us, and getting this seat now may be the difference between flipping the senate in 2 years or not. Get it together. Work through your anger later, we have shit to do. If you must diary, make it about how we can win the race in front of us, not how we lost the race behind us.
Make phone calls. Put some money down. Canvass if you can. Cut the armchair analysis and fucking DO something. Get Foster Campbell elected.
