It's come to where the Democrats have figured out how to implement diversity without it being policy on paper. I've heard several say that they have to run for what is needed in their district or state, like the small crowd of Dems who have been elected recently. The national message is, 'go local'. And that's what is going to work, decentralizing elected positions. It's what the framework was when the Constitution was written, they all represented the local cultures of their home areas, they were not all the same, of course. Together consensus is achieved in matters that are addressed... especially those that spend tax dollars or alter our rights.

The intent overall is that we're supposed to bring those differences together in DC to weave policy with the variety of local cultures* in mind so that needs are met in the places represented and consent of the rest is secured.

I hope he gets elected, I think he gets it.



* I use this word because I can't think of another to describe the vastness of diversity in different places about the colonies at the time the Constitution was written.
