Any successful social change starts at the roots. Win local politics, build communities / working groups / unions, and then start aiming higher.
That is how socialism wins.
We need Texas to get on the dem-wagon
Texas is badly gerrymandered. It’s a big hill to climb.
I love the Abbott-exclusionary analogies.
Abbot dreams about Sparta kicking Mexicans into the Rio Grande. I hope one day he is accidentally photographed standing up and we all learn about the lie he has repeated for over 40 years. (I don't actually believe this but it's fun to day dream)
How do they gerrymander mayoral elections?
Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, all elected* dem mayors
*Note Dallas mayor was re-elected as a dem and then switched parties to repub
One of the many reasons that I dislike Dallas, and not just because it's my duty as a San Antonian, is everyone's bad-faith progressive stance. Just a bunch of NIMBY assholes who spend all day bragging about their gay friends, and then complain about Mexicans destroying the southern part of Texas. On more than one occasion, I've been asked by Dallassholes if I'm scared of living so close to Mexico.
As a Houstonian, I'm honor-bound to join you in your antipathy toward Dallas. Fucking Dallas. Blows my mind why anyone goes there willingly.
Gerrymandering only applies to US House of Representative elections.
Well, it does also apply to Texas's state legislature, which can have a big effect on how mayoral elections might go re: elections laws and their application
Todd Gloria is a Republican Lite, who is throwing homeless people in jail, after running on housing first.
Fuck Todd Gloria. I live in Imperial Beach, and have to deal with their gang members in the San Diego Sherriffs
I would very much not call Todd Gloria progressive leaning. He is more middle of the road really. Been a big disappointment as mayor IMO. (Source: San Diego resident)
My cousins live in SD and they mentioned that the previous mayor or someone got death threats for trying to establish an area as a safe haven for migrants, which caused a by election. Is this the person who replaced the previous mayor?
Right is doing the lords work
