This essay is sadly accurate. But I can’t help but awkwardly notice that of the 13 candidates “Tech Solidarity” is backing, none are black or Hispanic, in a year with more POCs/WOCs running than ever. Still a blind spot for white progressives. And tech. http://idlewords.com/2018/10/portrait_of_a_campaign.htm …

Worth noting that
@Pinboard had two black candidates from my home state of PA (Shavonnia Corbin-Johnson and Greg Edwards) on his slate back during the primaries. At least one came damn close to winning, as I recall.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like
Yeah, Shavonnia Corbin-Johnson lost her primary by ~600 votes. She's been seen on Twitter phone banking for @GScott4Congress, the nominee, because she's a pretty classy lady
