Texas Democrats are tired.
The Texas Democratic Party has lost every statewide race since 1994.
The Texas Senate has been in Republican hands since 1996.
The Texas House? Since 2002.
Why do we keep losing? Get a focus group of ten Democratic activists in a room, and you’ll get fifteen responses:
It’s a messaging problem! We aren’t speaking to rural communities!
It’s a messaging problem! We’re not speaking to people in the cities!
We’re too liberal!
We’re not organized!
We need to speak about kitchen table issues!
We need to engage Gen Z!
The state is too gerrymandered!
It’s because of voter suppression!
Greg Abbott is suppressing the vote!
While all of these challenges may (or may not) have merit, I would contend that one of the major overlooked causes that can truly be solved and agreed upon is the electoral organizing model… which is currently more broken than Greg Abbott’s moral compass.
