@tomscocca this exactly. the counter argument to popularism re: candidate selection isn't that every candidate needs to be a progressive, it's that the things which work aren't exactly predictable, and "fitting the district" includes qualities much broader than issue positions. — PolitiTweet.org

@joshgondelman @tomscocca which is very difficult to do! and may involve a long-term project to cultivate people who could become candidates! but yeah, a someone that people like and trust, someone who reflects something about what that place is...much better than a generic empty suit. — PolitiTweet.org
