Texas state convention

[Gothmog]

According to my State District Executive Committee member, the city of San Antonio has told the party that the state convention will not be allowed. We are having a virtual convention

Due to COVID-19, San Antonio city officials have rightfully cancelled the State Democratic Convention in San Antonio during June 4-6, 2020. I am now in an Emergency meeting of the State Democratic Executive Committee (via Zoom) to declare we are in a state of emergency, to authorize the state chair to initiate steps to hold the state convention by video conference, and to adopt overarching procedures by which the state convention will be held. Initial plans are for the 10,000 delegates to this virtual convention to join via Zoom, which will be moderated by professionals.

1. 10,000 at once on a zoom meeting....LOL

We had 58 and it was basically like a Facebook or YouTube Live meeting. We had to ask questions via the chat function. Voting will be on the platform and officers will be main thing where we will need interaction. I assume the SDEC will be drafting their platform interactively, but us delegates are probably best off watching YouTube Live or some type of Live from the TDP webpage.

2. The good thing about a virtual convention

We can drink during it and not have to wait until all the speeches about what a good day it is to be a Texas Democrat are over.
