I AM DYING LMAO. I LOVE YOU MENTIONED MCMORROW CAUSE THIS IS EXCACTLY WHAT I MENTIONED IN THE LAST ARTICLE. Ugh i just laugh it out now because i got credible information that Arizona finished their new party chair selection process.
And guess what? they elected a corporate dem that basically had her supporters including Maricopa County chair where its the most populace county and where most Latino lives filibustered and blocked the progressive candidates from addressing the Latino Committee.
When the event ended to where the resolution committee refused to put a floor to condemn the Gaza genocide and shut it down.
Most of them including the new party chair were smiling and clapping, one even said that good riddance to that place. And additionally the Maricopa County Chair basically said in order to win disengaged Black and Latino voters they have to shift more center/conservative.
Additionally Ruben Gallego wife Kate Gallego was a powerful power broker that was involved in the process. Michelle i cannot express how lucky you guys are in Texas. I am honestly being serious, you all are heading in the right direction with Kendall Scudder and the Texas progressive caucus but i promise you this. Arizona is not heading in that direction despite being Latino Majority, They will not win future elections and will resort to shifting conservative thinking they have to win republicans and independents. They wont change.
How to keep Establishment D's out of Texas? Ken Martin is going to leave Texans to the Republican wolves until 2032? How many Texans will die in the meantime as Abbott/Patrick, et al destroy social programs, public schools and economic infrastructure? Not to mention laws viciously attacking women's health.
We need to first pressure the Establishment to define its mission. Is it trying to get Democrats elected in Texas or is it trying to perpetuate its insulated and cushy power in DC? We aren't going to be their stepping stone for that. We will work with them on winning Texas.
Challenge the Establishment to show why it thinks it knows local politics better than the people on the ground. Publicize how badly it always gets local politics and culture so wrong, like a Yankee in a ten-gallon hat eating a tamale with the shuck on.
This is all I can say: keep all money in Texas. Also neither Allred and Talarico needs $. Who does? TDP and we need to give money to all the democrats running in red counties. Fund infrastructure!
Thanks for the fun Saturday night post, Michelle! (Wish I'd seen it while it was still Saturday, sigh.)
The media clips you gave were quite illustrative & appreciated as was your Michigan heads up about that particular PAC. I knew there was something suspicious about their name-- like they were trying too hard, lol. (posted)
The Democratic party of Texas doesn't represent the Democrats of Texas....we haven't done for 40 years as exemplified by the colossal losses of the last 40 years
His widow walked out on stage at his funeral to a pyrotechnics show and choreographed her crying with the music. That's literally all I have to say, which, honestly, is more than I care to know.
TCDP offers no countervailing discussion , so MAGA lunacy become the status quo
have yet to hear from Talarico. Does he plan not to campaign in FTW.....Coryn all over the TV......now Wesley Hunt...........Dem candidates, if u have one , are headlines in blogs like "Central Texas Even Minded Dems"
We lose not cause are ideas don't prevail, we simply don't compete in the short and long term messaging war

Sigh. We can’t save them all. 😭

Gang, take a knee
the wives of Dunn and Kirk are more malicious than their husbands

wise up, fort up
resistance is insufficient
strike back
if they want guns and bullets, we will give em guns and bullets, metaphoically
think of the Patriots of Lexington and Concord
they were faced a musket or a noose.....
they thought it was worth the fight
Lunacy in DT FTW...note one speaker flipped on her LBGQT support.......
