so your telling me the texas democratic party didnt had a spanish speaking department for latino voters before Kendall was elected chair? Dear god the Texas democratic party was a mess. What the hell were they thinking?
The more i listen to Kendall the more i feel so pissed off because it speaks parallel to what is exactly happening with our democratic party in New York. This is precisely why we lost so much ground Jesus Christ. And that moron Gilberto Hinojosa is Latino himself. I still am in shock that despite the fact y'all had a Latino party chair, yet he was that incompetent that he couldn't arrange a Spanish speaking department for one of the largest voting blocs? this is exactly why I say i am not scared of the republican party it's the democratic party establishment that really frightens me a lot.
I don’t think there’s a person in Texas who will argue that Hinojosa was ineffective. I don’t know enough about New York to say what’s going on there, but today I feel like the TDP is headed in the right direction.
Basically we have a party chair by the name of Jay Jacobs who is the protege of our former sexual predator governor Andrew Cuomo. Basically what is going on is the democratic party in NY was designed to an arm and "extension" to function around former governor Cuomo. In fact if there were any party members that went against governor Cuomo he would use the party appartus to threaten them into primaries and essentially remove any influence that threatened his presence in the party. Unfortunately the problem is he is still party chair in NY because our new Governor Kathy Hochul still wants him there and the party appartus still functions and lingers behind lobbyists that were behind Governor Cuomo. Unlike Texas, Party chairs are not elected. The governor has the power to appoint party chairs. This is why we are losing ground because Jay Jacobs still approaches politics in a similar manner like Hinojosa and he effectively tries to primary and suppress the progressive and left leaning candidates that try to participate in getting elected.
The New York democratic party is divided unfortunately due to this. We are also just as decentralized as the Texas democratic party was originally and we are locked out of electing new party chairs because of how the party chair system was designed.
i disagree....this isn't a starter jobs . he is the representative of 15M Texans......and..........he is a practicing consultant...Its a job he sought out.
i expect him to get busy day one....didn't sound like that's the plan....but he;s here now...
I share your sentiment in regards to political consultants. Believe me i really do as they are just as much to contribute to the losses the democratic party has. But i am willing to give Kendall a chance as i have noticed he focuses a lot on the grassroots efforts and activists. If he involves and incoporate those groups into
i am not trying to be super-crtical...its more like , "approach with caution, animal may bite"
anyone who runs for anything is ambitious and agrees to the responsibilties of the job..in these times they should of enough skill and experience to be effective day 1.
I have tried to connect with his office anyway i can since he got elected...u know emails or FB , or X or the web portal , u kow reall attention grabbing headlines like .like TCDP ON FIRE......haven't heard from him or his assistant or the janitor. should i try a CandyGram? I dunno...i guess i am just too lowly for the hi-mogul of the muckety- muck Chair of the Party of the People(sic)
do we know he is even aware of the crisis....who would tell him, Crystal? any one have any channels into TDP Chair? So who knows if our problems are even being discussed.
PS: the first person that says; trust me he knows, with out offering proof, have i got a tarriff i can sell u.
In closing, let's not be guillable and let's not assume anyone is coming to the rescue.
i was out there at the deportation rally .....there was a broad chasm between us, non spanish speakers and the hispanic constituents we were there to support...it was palpable
there was shamanic type guy who spoke in his native language ......not any tribe i am aware of...he had a slot so i guess someone decided either we needed that vote or he was the closest they get to an actual spanish speaker...
these guys either don't say what they know, or don't know what they are saying.............................
a big part of the strategy depends on having candidates in every race when the whole thing collapses.......................in texas it may be our only strategy
On a side note. I also heard you asking the questions i requested from your previous post. Thank you, kindly Michelle! This is very important if we truly wish to win future elections.
MSNBC is corporate media, they pushed Colin Allred, when Roland was the better choice. They pushed Allred in the primary. I think he had a point about that.
special shoutout......i am wiht you on wMD on bold prog agenda......hell we are in a sinking boat in a flooded basement in the middle of a 1000 year storm
to quote the orange mussolini ...wadda u got to lose....
Scudder coming to FTW....don;t know what he knows about our collapse. in TC .don't know if he will show leadership or just say "not my problem"
he moved on quickly from pct. chairs.....we don't spend 1 dime on one pct chair or their 1000;s of constituents... how the hell are pct. chairs supposed to contact thier consituents..some as many as 3000 in a pct. .....he offers nothing so I imagine nothing gets done and pct chairs get no help
1.1 dems didn't vote, 200k which were in Tarrant County..............never heard from the party....or a candidate................that;s the crux of the matter.....MAGA has all those outlets.......we have none...so we have to strategize around that...he said nothing.
PS: Cameron county got $3M from Soros..so it isn't money .i am guessing no one trusts TDP with their money
whose the guy asking all the questions?.....he sounds about as sympthetic to working Texans as a fox to a chicken
the old joke : 2 millennials in a bar......who cares
in sum, Scudder is punchy..his words not mine.....
___
okay kendall u want folks to fight and risk the AG's wrath....promise to pay their legal bills...........find he pro bono law firms to help. he didn't say that
he crticized MSNBC,....go fuck yourself Kendall..who the fucking else carries the prog message morning, noon, and nite,,,free of charge to any who want to listen....
he failed ur question wMD......other states do it...we can too...put our hand on the scale of who we want to run and win............................................by his logic a strom thurmon dixiecrat,,,,maybe our own david duke, could win a far east texas county and that just fine cause u know the voters voted?
in tarrant we have 40% latino and no one who speaks spanish in the party
scudder got that rite but then said nada how he would fix it.....
We all know what a huge role Texas plays in the Republican Party. We now have hope that things can actually change here and we may have just saved the world by electing Kendall. It will not happen overnight, but let’s turn this ship around!
gone are the days that we take these guys at face value...to me ..listening..i didn't hear any plans on a job he has been planning to run for for years
he wanted the job, he got it, do something fast...........job #1...a candidate for every race for the coming 2026 wipe out.....i could use 4 in my pct. .
as a principle in Armadillo Strategies..they get paid whether they win or lose...and on Texas SDEC who rubber stamped failed leadership since the 90's Scudder runs the risk of being more of the same
the fact he was elected by his pals tells me MOS is likely
It’s up to the Texas democratic chairs as to what they will do also. Yes they need more training to what they need to do, however, we can get our butts out in our counties and motivate and utilize our volunteers. We should not think Kendall is our magician to solve all problems. Let’s get out and motivate our precinct chairs and our members in our counties. Let’s stand with Kendall and do our job. To Tim Koss, Kendall raised over $50,000 in 24 hrs, and he is supporting his county chairs. You want to do something, then get involved in your county. Get involved with your party. If you’re in a county without a chair, I challenge you be a chair or a precinct chair. Be involved with your county instead of being an armchair quarterback. Get involved the trenches and get dirty with the rest of us. IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US !!!
i know people think i am nuts...but listen up.....we are in the wilderness if the wilderness was on the far side of the moon........we stand no chance of gaining power,..none ...without WORK....and a 2026 implosion of the GOP.........
the TDP is the only statewide elected Democrat...for the last 30 years.....act like it Kendall.....don't rehearse or practice ...get after it......do something for Tarrant.....that moves Texas more Demoratic ..censor us, kick us out..criticize us openly in the press, so people think we are even worth talking about.......do something......dramatic......
and no don't go back to Austin and confer with others
wMD pointed it out succinctly and the NY State poster reminds us.........collaboration and consensus as the goal is lame........be as staunchly progessive as wMD says we are and u claim to be ....no one has tried before.be strong and determined and firm and use a commanding hand......shake these 30 year party do-nothings into action or get rid of em
Not nuts, just pessimistic. 😭 We all understand why Dems in Texas have a reason to be concerned. And if Scudder winds up sucking, I’ll be the first to call him out. We just need to give him a fair shot first.
Finally had a chance to listen to this. I hope the Texas Democratic Party is successful in 2026! I also hope I’m able to attend the State Convention. I went in 2020 on zoom and 2022 in Dallas. I missed the 2024 one.
We need more Precinct Chairs in Bexar County. If you live in Bexar County message me. ☺️.

That sucks that they aren’t elected. NY Dems should change that.
The New York democratic party is divided unfortunately due to this. We are also just as decentralized as the Texas democratic party was originally and we are locked out of electing new party chairs because of how the party chair system was designed.
supposely its the New York State Democratic Committee that reelects party chairs but it is full of lobbyists that the original governor appointed.
he offered no solutions....like didn't have any idea about the probs and ideas to fix when he decided he was the 'best' guy to do the job?
What solutions were you looking for?
didn't we vote to pay the Chair?
Not until 2026.
so then in the desire to get capable people by offering decent salary we hire a wealthy guy. where's his money come from
never mind...a consultant.....we are doomed
Kendall also holds a Masters Degree in Political Management from The George Washington University.
Don’t let that be a deterrent of giving him a fair shot. We should give everyone a chance first.
i disagree....this isn't a starter jobs . he is the representative of 15M Texans......and..........he is a practicing consultant...Its a job he sought out.

and doesn't' speak Spanish.....does his wife or kid?,,they could go over to North Side and translate for pappi
what's the spanish translation for the Jewish expression...oh vey?
We need Spanish comms, not for everyone to speak Spanish. And he’s from Texas, so he probably knows enough, just like all of us.
i was out there at the deportation rally .....there was a broad chasm between us, non spanish speakers and the hispanic constituents we were there to support...it was palpable

Haha, Tim. The glass is half full. 😉
wouldn't be the first staffer or chair to parlay their tenure into clients and cash
hell our own paul begala been grifting off clinton for what........30 years

i am watching rachel maddow reporting on protests planned tommorrow...everywhere ..and protesters yesterday against eric trump in alabama
and i am trying to puzzle out why scudder put down MSNBC
from above...be cause it collides with is intersts of his MOR or worse, politcal clients.......Dallas RE..come on......
Kendall also holds a Masters Degree in Political Management from The George Washington University.
Well, at least we know he isn’t dumb. 🤷🏻♀️ Personally, I’m optimistic.

,,,,smoke break-mine
There isn’t a lot he can do in Tarrant, imo. Our county chair is an elected position.
okay this is dumb...texans have no income tax and low income texan pay no fed txas
instead talk about giving that $42B back to the people....its exactly what MAGA woudl do
