Re: POTUS 45.5 - Sweden is Under Attack
Castro is also one lynch pin of the middle term strategy of locking down Latinos as a core Democratic constituency that views the GOP as Hitler with worse breath. (The other lynch pin is the behavior of the GOP itself.)
A permanent resident caucus of Latinos as a third of the electorate and at least half the Democratic coalition will give them an ENORMOUS force multiplier. That is the true win-win.
As a card-carrying member of the crazy socialist wing of the party I fully endorse this.
The End Game is to have a socialist movement in this country so we can have the priorities and strong economy / high quality of life of Germany and the Scands. That is a multi-generation effort. The far right was able to capture the GOP by taking a little at a time and being willing to compromise behind the scenes while always shouting bloody murder in the front row. That is worth stealing.
I think the Progressives would be stupid to play the same game they did when Hillary won. Castro may not be a full on Socialist but I think he knows how to play the game and realizes why they lost. I dont foresee him and Ellison being at odds much so it will work out...especially since Ellison stays in Congress then. (hence: win/win)

The Progressives should change the agenda from the bottom up. If they want it shifted farther left they need to do it as part of a coalition, not by drawing a line in the sand.
