and: when you're going down the House race level, you will find selected districts that are more favorable for white progressive Ds. Balter running in district that includes Syracuse U. Lots of progressive academics + college students. Big reason she beat DCCC cand.

Progressives value representation so a minority candidate definitely (and rightly) gets points for that, but they can’t activate the coalition without the message and the politics, too.
