Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows (lemmy.ml)

Why not primary vulnerable downballot democrats?

Because I've seen how that goes. The party protects incumbents as long as their opponents are progressive.

Compare how the party protected anti-choice anti-labor pro-nra Henry Cuellar to how it abandoned Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman.

Also, your question assumes fair primaries. Democrats don't do those.
