A thread every Democratic Party leader should read.
Lakshya Jain@lxeagle17
Okay. So I've wanted to articulate this for a while, but never really knew how. But I'm personally absolutely, completely disgusted with the Democratic Party — *my* party, in many ways — and not because of the party moving "too far left/right". Let me explain.🧵

@QRead95 @texasdemocrats Us too. That is why we formed this PAC. Rural Dems will have to do ourselves. TDP is a lost cause

@The134PAC I have given up on @texasdemocrats. My county chair has been MIA for at least 4 years, but she is still listed on their website even though they know this. Add in the Vice Chair's statements that anyone who did not vote Dem is racist and misogynistic, and what is left to support?

Rural Dems. Don't lose heart. Block and tackle, then get up and do it again. Be a First Down Democrat the134pac.org/post/on-being-…

@johnegibson Recent demographic studies show most rural areas continuing to lose population. Places like Lubbock might be an exception in those regions.

We need public policy that encourages people to repopulate rural areas. (Low cost loans to encourage people to buy unused existing private property and put it back into productive agricultural use.)

In Texas, where a majority of the population lives along and east of I-35, the voices of those living West of I-35 are faint and growing fainter in the statehouse." From the preface to The Man Who Rode Midnight by Elmer Kelton 1987
English
"Year by year the political influence of those who remain in rural communities dwindles, and their needs and wants are easier to ignore.

🧵1/ Let's get one thing straight: the last 12 years of the Texas Democratic Party have been nothing short of a disaster. The party has become a hollow shell of what it could be, and the people of Texas deserve better. It's time for a reckoning.

Didn't know until @KenyaRVA tweeted this that VAN is not non-profit
Kenya Gibson@KenyaRVA
This is a systemic problem that @TheDemocrats must address. The buyout of NGP/VAN by private equity is deeply concerning and must be investigated.

This is the kind of passion rural people deserve. We are not Josh Hawley fans, but he is right on this one. Democrats should be doing this every day. We would love to see our own Senators defend rural Texas this way.

Sen. Josh Hawley on the @USPS Regional Transportation Optimization plan: "I hate this plan. I'm going to do everything I can to kill it. I'm going to try to protect every delivery to the state of Missouri...If I have to go down with the ship I'll go down with the ship."

A good read from our friend Stamford Mayor @jamesdecker2006 it is time to change Ag policy.

@stephtu0123 @andrebttx Believe what you want. Ted Cruz is still Senator.
English
@The134PAC @andrebttx Y’all were fawning over Thierry Tchenko for senate. I don’t believe you that you’re in the “want to win” category. JS.
English
Gene Wu as head of the House Democratic Caucus is such a bad decision it is proof that nothing will ever change in the Texas Democratic Party, regardless of who is State Chair. At least for 30-40 years.
English
@stephtu0123 @andrebttx Actually we are in the "want to win" category and in our assessment Mr Wu is not that kind of a Democrat, and is out of touch with the majority of Texans. If you want him to lead a permanent minority party then he is the right man for the job.
English
@andrebttx @The134PAC They’re more in the “libertarian” category than the Dem category.
