MA-07: Boston City Councillor to Challenge Capuano

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Obviously the primary role of a Congressman representing a complex urban district with severe social problems is to make sure that they hit the right #woke notes on whatever issues rose emoji twitter is angry about at any given moment. That is true politics and will definitely lead to a more egalitarian and harmonious society.

I'd hate to side with hofoid, but a majority minority district voting based on race pretty much IS the definition of "identity politics". And the idea that its not OK for a white person to represent such a district is no better than attacking the idea of a non-white person representing a majority white district.

That said this will have zero impact on partisan elections anywhere.

We lost a progressive champion who had the courage to vote against the PATRIOT Act back in those dark days in the near aftermath of 9/11. Now we have someone who staked out exactly one position to the left of a long-term incumbent. I hope the residents of MA-07 enjoy their new lack of seniority, and I further hope a certain element on Atlas comes to the realization that being "dynamic," which Pressley is, is not the same thing as being "left," like AOC is.
