Brand New Congress: 535 progressive candidates, 1 ticket

Are you talking about their flawed branding, particularly the “1 ticket” portion? I just whimsy-ed that away as crappy wordplay that few people would catch onto, and that what they meant was that they intend to culture candidates for each district regardless of the timing of their respective elections.

I think this effort as described will bring in some money and fizzle, which is why I think it should be a party built on what Sanders has helped to activate. For my tastes they seem not to place as much stock in the fact that Bernie is only a Democrat by pure necessity.

That if they don’t want to see the next progressive hopeful shut out by the establishment as Sanders may yet be, they should get to work seeding the ground with something other than Democrat and Republican hybrid seeds, designed to sterilize their efforts.
