First, heading this org isn't a desired gig. Indeed, per this piece, Casar was unopposed last year; the previous head was term-limited.
That said, per my top link, progressive he is not:
He would rather build coalitions than pass ideological purity tests that have pushed voters away from the left. He espouses a more working class message, steering away from the culture wars and back to economic concerns that dominated voters’ minds this year.
Business as usual. Oh, sure, in various places in various stories, he condemns the Joe Manchins of the world, but says it wasn't that Yachtsman Joe wasn't too liberal or too conservative, but that they didn't offer enough progress. It's statements like this that lead me to use the word "pergressuve."
Or, in other words, contra the likes of Radley Balko, he believe the bullshit about "woke."
The self-delusion has now gotten worse, though.
Per the Monthly, he thinks Tex-ass is "up for grabs."
Dayum. Even though state Dems made Gilberto Hinojosa walk the plank, his "victory is just around the corner" spirit is alive and well. Contra the core of the piece, once California started going hard "blue," it was abetted by people from the OC and San Jose and Inland Empire Californicating Tex-ass (and Aridzona). Texas isn't up for grabs for, oh, at least a decade?
