I am exhausted, knocking on so many doors, no one has ever knocked on these doors. And I am unleashing voters and guess what else, in 2 days I have recruited 3 precinct chairs and 2 block walkers right out of the door. Why? Because I talked to them about what mattered and made this election about them. I have so much to say both good and bad about what is happening in my City in this run off. We have 77 precincts. And we have 6 precinct chairs actually lifting more than a finger. I have not even been sworn in and I am working so many doors. Why? Cause I actually know what the fuck a precinct chair is supposed to do because I learned it from Kelly Blackburn, the Democratic chair in Ellis County, and a very special man that I met two weeks ago has helped me focus my energy on what actually works.
100% yes. What is happening in my city is what will happen to every other city and every democratic state rep. There are so many factors at play. I have talked to consultants who think it is situation as usual and this is why we keep losing in election after election.
I give you all the power of my respect to you for that honestly. Thats the democratic party has to do. Its to respect us to win elections. This is what we call the grassroots and activism that the democratic party has taken for granted. We are currently also dealing with our own situation in NYC where i am incredibly exhausted as we are canvassing, phonebanking, and running ads to get our first progressive candidate to be elected as Mayor in NYC. we are working hard to prevent Cuomo and Adams to get elected who are literally part of the right wing establishment that literally uses the same rhetoric democrats used back in 2024. At this point we are in a proxy battle between progressives and conservative democratic establishment in NYC.
As someone who grew up in Upstate New York, I can tell you why upstate was red for so long. That rural upbringing helps me identify with rural voters. I have lived in suburban texas when it was red and then when it turned blue and I have lived downtown in a solid blue area. I have lived it all, and I have been on the front lines. I would never call myself a progressive but in Texas if you don’t believe consultants and work a grass roots campaign and change all strategy when you listen to voters then yes I am a progressive. And as someone who knows a lot about New York politics, bringing back Cuomo cause he is a white man with name recognition is the absolute most terrible idea. But I am fighting an absolute machine that can churn out money like it is printing it. It is hot and hard work, but knocking on doors is what actually works and we cannot leave anyone out. I lean something from every single voter.
Amen! You may not be progressive in the sense of ideas for yourself but what do we is considered progressive action. At the end of the day its our grassroots organizing that is key to building a powerful movement not corporate power. but that doesnt mean you dont understand the power of grassroots and activism. At the end of the day what you mentioned is exactly needed. You know the drill on the efforts it takes and how we have to continue to show up for those communities. To me that what a progressive value is. We have to be inclusive and show up and stand up for every community there is whether they be rural, suburban or urban.
Oh believe me our group is trying to advocate for that. She is from our DSA chapter but at the end of the day our chapter gives her a bit more leeaway because she is one of the most effective communicators we have from our chapter well in the entire United States.
I love her so much. She’s amazing. I would vote for her on the presidential ticket, even though everyone is telling Democrats not to run anymore women 😭

I’m friends with Kelly, and I love her. Maybe I need to interview you about tactics we should be using everywhere.
