Revisiting the Anchor Holding Texas Down: Texas Democratic Party's Ineffectiveness [View all]

The stagnant leadership of the Texas Democratic Party is hindering us from progress.

We’ve hit our second Sine Die for the year, an impeachment looming, and the State Party has remained primarily absent/quiet for the year. Recently, my good friend Olivia Julianna posted a Twitter thread I’d like to share with you.

She makes a lot of good points, and it’s time we revisit the biggest anchor holding Texas down and preventing us from flipping the state.

A few months ago, I was invited to an online event to hear Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa discuss the 2024 Strategy. So naturally, I accepted, optimistic that perhaps there would be something he would say to give me hope to show that he recognizes this state’s challenges and plans to do something different than in our previous election losses.

It’s taken me a while to tell you what I learned because there is no way to paint a pretty picture. I’ve written and scrapped this article twice already.
