I know exactly how you feel. It’s not easy. It’s hard work. Do what you can. I appreciate anything you can do because if we all do what we can. It will make a difference. Believe it! 🙏🏼
This is exciting and yet it makes me so nervous. I'm a newer precinct chair and I've had personal life stuff kind of holding me back from doing as much door-knocking as I would like. I just sat through endless speeches at the State convention which all pretty much ended with "organize, knock on doors, etc." Also, there is lots of chatter about what a linchpin Tarrant County is.
I'm not complaining, but I am starting to feel like the fate of the world hinges on Tarrant County and our efforts. I will say this though. I've made my start knocking doors and my real challenge with the (some new) Democratic voters is not convincing them to vote for Democrats, but convincing them they still have to pay attention between now and Nov. 3. Talarico is going to bring people in, but will they vote Democrat for downballot races, ie Tarrant County government?
Assuming arguendo that Talarico brings in both new voters and Republican-leaning voters, it is plausible they will split their ticket or not vote in the down ballot races. I'm afraid the nationalizing of local politics has caused people to assume that Congress is the whole ball game. 🥴
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 for Texas. Praying that Democratic Voters get out and vote.
I’m hoping for the best.
