Bit of nuance though. A local candidate in Austin, Texas may want Sanders/Socialist is ok, to appear in his district, for that local candidate's own personal interests and ambitions - which may not be good for other local suburban Dems, who fear the Socialist Dem label, spilling/spreading/blasted over into those suburban districts in a damaging/losing way. I agree 'the local candidate should have a good take on what will help or hurt' - [ that local candidates OWN interests, which are not necessarily the same as other local Dem candidate interests, or the November Dem win the House agenda].

Thanks again.
