"We need to compete everywhere in the USA— the old Howard Dean strategy. Can’t win where you don’t run; can’t build the party from the grassroots if the party won’t feed the grass" From DK where there is an interesting discusion....one item of which i hadn't a clue...Robert Rules impediment
one comentor made the analogy of the big tent blowing into town every 2-4 years and then folding up and leaving....like a circus...I have heard Betos is again reving his engines but he was a no show in 2022 in Tarrant County...... R's are putting up signs up as i type.....i can't even get an email from a D saying Happy New Year...so i am guessing there will be some kind of GOTV in 2024 which will fall on deaf ears because we don't lay any foundation........
to others who haven't read me....i live in an affulent neighborhood and we have been completely ignored by D candidates and the D party..if not us, who? i pity the poorer neighborhoods......FTW and Tarrant County , once purple, now red
the debate is instructive and worth a read....tedious as reading blogs can become........
there is much convo about rural vs. urban......but in Texas rural issues are urban issues...namely HC with increasing loss of care in rural Texas which could be funded by Medicaid Expansion. And Ukraine....how many miltary interests do we have in Texas? GOP fiddles while Kiev burns....imagine all the R's in Aledo or White Settlement you could switch on that issue , if they were to hear from any D on this issue. I personally would line up a rogues gallery of R;s opposed to funding Ukraine...run it like FBI's 10 Most Wanted.
