We Still Have A Lot Of Work To Do

[Shell_Seas]

It’s ok to be heartbroken right now, but we can’t give up. We have to fight harder. Texas is purple, it’s been purple for a while. Our voter turnout this year was astounding. We need to keep turning out for state and local elections.

1. Rio Grande Valley

And El Paso.

Gotta find a way to break through there.

2. Well stated. All is not lost. Politics is a continuum and history an ever moving arc of progress

Like a supertanker, sharp turns are not a likely reality. We'd like to be on a firmer new course but it will take more time. Demographics are on our side. Dems need to find better (and younger) candidates and get on the same page on messaging nationally. I love AOC and the squad and see them as part of the future but having them publicly throw out half baked ideas and statements that are counter to the interests or at least worrisome to 90% of the national electorate is VERY unhelpful. And I would die in support of free speech and peaceful demonstrations, but violence and looting makes people nervous. Nancy Pelosi has had the right idea and right touch and some tried to go too far too fast and while some progress may be made rhetorically, it leads to scaring even more people to Trump and other Repubs. Let's help ourselves and not keep shooting ourselves in the foot with ill disciplined and unaligned messaging in public.
