The author is continuing what he did when he co-wrote the "Primaries For Progress", later "Primary School" Substack newsletter: recommending ways to shift the Democratic Party to the left in primaries both of incumbents and in open seats, but limiting it to districts or offices where there's little or no chance of doing so backfiring by potentially flipping the races to the GOP.
That’s interesting background on the author and a valuable clarification. I myself don’t have an informed opinion on most of these incumbents, but I found The Prospect’s article interesting and thought it might spark some interesting discussions here.
