I wish they would identify who is behind New Council. Keeping the electorate in the dark can backfire when hype doesn’t match the candidates and/the platform.
Perhaps, but this also keeps the focus on the platform and messaging, and not on identity politics. The people who execute the vision are secondary to the vision.
So in the case of either an unknown, unproven candidate or a known, proven candidate that has some baggage those qualities will be subsumed by the bigger picture.
I'm not saying that's going to be a successful strategy (or that that's their strategy at all), but I could certainly see that as the approach.
