I don’t think the Texas grassroots Democrats are going to be an effective force until they understand that they need to do issue work in addition to turnout. And to be credible doing issue work, they will have to demand more from elected Democrats in terms of an agenda that is actually targeted at the nonvoters and the working class voters.

And when PCs and others ask and push for answers there are only excuses or they push the issue to "later." And later comes and their answer is still later.

I think I agree but who are PCs?

Oh. Well, those offices are essentially a waste of time because the party doesn’t have control over its elected officials. Activists should focus more on elected officials. Party chairs, precinct chairs, SDEC…all mostly ineffectual.

And the grassroots also has to understand that the donor class is the enemy, not a friend.
