She would make a great Congressperson. Perhaps her opponent will too, but there should be a place for Lucy eventually

Who are challenging the status quo and the party establishment. So yeah, the success rate is going to be low. But if he can make a difference in a few races that's great. I really wish he would focus on that instead of expending so much energy and capital on the party platform and primary rules and DNC leadership. At the end of the day I think electing more downballot progressives who challenge the establishment will have more lasting impact.
