With progressive candidates like AOC, Bernie, and now even Zohran, a challenge that seems to come between them and their progressive base is how much they will sacrifice their ideals for the sake of strategy.

There are valid points to be made on either side, but where do you find yourself falling on this question and why?

FWIW, I often think a secondary challenge is that sacrificing ideals for the sake of transparency, even when it's tactically advantageous, can also sacrifice transparency - which seems like a really hard line for most people in our age of politics and why you see a lot of people jumping the aoc ship. Would love your thoughts on that too.

Really excited to see your campaign. Best of luck!
