Great recap, Michelle, & the meme you chose is hilariously fitting!!!

Your last paragraph sums up my sentiments perfectly:

"So let’s call it what it was. Another round of Republican cruelty packaged as governance. And let’s pray it stays dead until 2027." (fingers crossed)

Vincent Perez is awesome. I kind of wish he had told the other guy, Tinderholt, “you have wasted most of the Texas taxpayers by the way you have disenfranchised them!” 😠

yes, but u are an intrepid reporter......you could ....er... report

the way i see it, MAGA isn't our problem

we will not compete for years to come

our problem is our total political incompetency....i focus on Tarrant because i know it and its problems are egregious

imagine if we had something like a representative democracy in Tarrant 10, 8, 6, even 4 years ago.......if, instead of running the party for the benefit of the engaged few, we had full Hispanic participation in the party....then they might of voted, Instead we have a party appartatus that simply changed hands between a self-appointed few.

as the Deportation Rally proved , there is a huge chasm between black and white Dems in Tarrant and Hispanics.......

i short handed it as the opal lee industrial complex, hugely successful and no complaints from me, and the left over Wendy Davis, Cecil Richards. pro-life, Hillary /Kamala set.....much less successful.......

both sets though completely dominate TC to the exclusion of the 40% Hispanics in FTW and Tarrant.

even when the party collapsed finacially and organizationally last summer we went back to the insider Anglo to do something different? i don't think so, do u? When u can't even post a Labor Day greeting u really don't know what the fuck u are doing .......

so yeah i think u should turn your foresenic gaze on TCDP.

ps: for those of you skeptical of my opinions, please join us for the only thing on Allsion Campolo and TCDP claender since last April, ....not Hands Off, or No Kings, or Beto or Labor Day , its the upcoming Opal Lee honors diner next week.

To Allison Campolo Chair Tarrant County Democratic Party and those who support her"

u might want to think about removing the FB label that goes nowhere and the little twiity bird logo that takes u to X and a note 'Tarrant County Democratic Party has not posted in ........"

kinda makes it look like no one is minding the store........which is true but u don't want people to know that, do u?

Fellow Democats O"Rouke, Guitteriz and Talarico,

The Tarrant County Democratic Party is some kind of amalgamation

of the Opal Lee Industrial Complex and a Chic Flic

Left out are Hispanics and the working class, union and non-union

If you will provide me the names of those who may be willing to fight to change this i will personally lobby them to run for County Chair in March'

There’s a working class Union guy running for SD09 right now who’s working really hard to turn out the vote in November and in Tarrant County, Democrats won all 13 of the last local elections flipping seats in Keller and Mansfield.
