[Oe List ...] fake candidate

Or, a bit more prosaically, what's our model? Strategy and tactics?

Moral purity? Withdraw into 'sides?' Expel the bad folk from our circles?

Vision, contradictions, tactics?

Mine: build local structures that address local challenges in as wide a
context as possible. Mitigate tribalism and scapegoating where I see
openings. Support the least damaging viable alternatives while seeking to
move them towards more openness to the humanity of others .

Remember when Congress Parkway folk all voted for Mayor Daley?
