that was a doozy............i will describe TCDP as part of the Opal Lee Industrial Complex.....
considering blacks are the least populous minority they seemed to dominate in Crystal's admin. The simple fact is they bring 14% of the votes . Even if they vote disproportionately more that is a big hurdle which they have never breached.
Blacks deserve everything they can get and more....but not at the expense of latinos or the majority.
I became skeptical after the last of 3 emails sent by Crystal in honor of another dead black leader....while never sending one email about a visiting candidate or current event.
Something smelled mighty fishy. As well described above there was never any news about visiting candidates or big events or protests.
Touche MD...we aren't red cause we love MAGA ,we are red because we have no organization corralling our energies......
One of ur quiz question asked about centralization . Decentralizaiton fails for all the reasons u mentioned AND we have have a real life case study......all the losses during de-centralization era.
Excellent reporting MD. I will nominate u for the Pulitzer, maybe even a Wurlitzer
a little follow up....still no info from party HQ as to what's going on.......no plan on how we will move fwd. No mention of resignations or firings ........not sure how anyone hopes to proceed without big change.....they are a particularly obtuse gang though so maybe the 2 month(or 3) month hiatus will slide past blithefully
I agree, her information is so important. I always share her information (I literally send her articles to several precinct chairs.). She is the only writer I pay for because I feel she is an important resource to keep me up with WTF the Tex Lege is up to.
Before Elon Musk’s vision of his rocket-filled town can take flight, voters in the unincorporated village of Boca Chica, Texas, will vote in May on whether to greenlight it.
to Dems across the state....MD's description of uncoordination is spot-on and unacceptable
Us Tarrant residents never know.......nobody tells us anything
but TCYD ...aka Tarrant County Young Democrats had no idea there was major league protest on Apr 5 in Dallas when they scheduled their own protest.....so dvised , they moved their event date
i mean gang come on...ur kid's PTA does a better job communicating and scheduling....its inexcusable....
I wish I was above looking at my local group as a social club for older people but that's how it feels. When our time is already limited, these little things matter in drawing people out to the group or making new or younger people feel welcome.
As the BCDP PRTC Co-Chair, I’m 63, I’m dying to know how to get more young energy in our County. Frankly because I’d rather they be doing the work I do. I would rather just volunteer at HQs. So any advice is appreciated.
In the past (I started getting involved with the party 2/2018) most young people didn’t have time, money and then did nothing so they quit. As a retired teacher; I have time, some money, and a sense of urgency. All my life until Aug. 25, 2022 I had a choice! Not that I need it anymore but…. I was out block walking and phone banking most everyone in 2024! I thought I would see more young people fighting with me. More young people with a sense of urgency. Every time my name was announced at a CEC. Come on youngins, I would say, help me out-do more! Then I heard that young people didn’t want to vote! 🤦🏽♀️. I saw that 2024 as a year of do or die! What is happening now? In Texas, democracy is dying. Politics is never perfect especially if you are not at the table. My own sons (typical-hate both parties). My sons tell me “Why do you work so hard, none of this will affect you?” I disagree! I tell them I work for young (1970s) Eva. Now, I’m at the point that if you hate what is happening in 2025, and did not vote for VP Harris, get to work in your precinct. Organize it to mobilize it. I don’t want to hear what is wrong with the Party, WE (you) are the Party! Make it better! If you aren’t making it better than you could be the reason the Party is losing. United We Stand Divided We Fall.
I’m ready for the young people to do the work! Really I am. HELP! Young people we need you. Sorry so long. ☺️
Changing the venue sometimes (it's always at our community senior center). Marketing the meetings on Facebook, Instagram, Eventbrite weeks ahead of time (as of now, meeting notice is sent the week of through email). Pics/videos of all activities. Connecting with adjacent local groups and bringing them to meetings. More developed committees, that would also do their own recruiting and marketing.

Exactly. How do we make it more appealing for the youth?
