I was much surprised tonight to meet Jamar Jefferson, Progressive Democratic candidate for the Sacramento Congressional seat held by Democrat Doris Matsui, at Arden Fair Mall.
A chief tool used by activists to make the GOP more conservative was by primarying safe GOP officeholders, even if it meant jeopardizing the seat in the short run. Progressive Democrats need to mimic the conservatives in this respect. Matsui needs to Feel the Bern.
One of Jefferson's immediate goals is to bring Bernie Sanders to Sacramento. Jefferson estimates he'll need to gather 5,000 supporters to do that. I'm there for that.
