Not only is this just the least productive framing possible (why is it a comparative situation?) but being impressed by Pete’s post-primary actions is such a weird analysis given that his entire personality is and has always been “proximity to power.”

For people who can only consider politicians by power rankings, here’s a few things Julián Castro is doing:
• joined @votolatino as a senior advisor
• spoke at Purdue with Dolores Huerta about the Latino community and BLM
• spoke with pbs about his support for Biden

I finally muted the original tweet that I screenshotted and the quote tweets where the person calls me a “nasty twist” but I genuinely can’t imagine getting this defensive over a man with Lego hair.
