Just because it's not going to work doesn't mean that the Dems shouldn't try it.

I'd rather see the Dems trying SOMETHING rather than just sitting back doing nothing.

What IS this attitude that I sense of late on DU? We shouldn't contact the electors because that won't do any good. We shouldn't have insisted on a recount because that wouldn't do any good. Bullshit! I want Democratic candidates (like Warren) who will get into the faces of Republicans and fight with them.
