protecting their own asses. If you can get a Democratic politician somewhere in the heartland to abandon fighting for progressive issues because you got him so damn scared he'll lose his seat in November, you can bet your bottom dollar many will fold and choose to keep their asses in their seat rather than getting up and taking a stand. They know they come from districts that aren't really progressive at all, and the Republicans know it, too. The Repubs play on that.
Fear is a very powerful weapon.
