Believer that a better way is possible — and necessary 🙃

You ARE throwing their votes away, and throwing our elections into chaos with this Trump-driven mid-decade redistricting nonsense. You know this, but try to gaslight your constituents anyway.

[Senator Matt Leber @voteleber]

🚨🚨Dirty Politics on Memorial Day🚨🚨

Democrats send Mass Text falsely accusing Proponents of Redistricting of “Throwing away” Military Ballots. The SC Director of Elections Commission, Conway Belangia has assured us in open Public Testimony and privately that Military members oversees will get ballots and afforded the chance to vote if we pass Redistricting. Democrats know this but send fake news text anyway.

@IAmNickReynolds Thanks very helpful! I know yall are spending long days there, we appreciate your live feeding us the updates, it’s been my go-to for how best to keep up.

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

@IAmNickReynolds Oh actually not rhetorical haha was genuinely curious if you were aware or if they had shared where they found cutting more to be possible. Thanks!

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

I know there’s a national conversation happening about our information ecosystem, but what are yalls thoughts about how best to fill the local information gaps? Existing traditional local news orgs are really not cutting it… so what should we build that would be useful?

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

@abreezeclayton @NCDemParty 😂 yess that’d be solid! DM’ing you.

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

@JalenElrod That’s all really helpful, appreciate you sharing your perspective.

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

@JohnsonHarry66 Perhaps! Definitely not saying there aren’t great aspects of being able to call this place home. We could be doing better for sure though. And serving people in ways that make their lives better.

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

“Fuck around and find out” as a mentality has not worked in places like SC where we’ve been under one-party rule for years, by ineffective Republican leadership. How long do we have to wait for the “find out” phase to actually move voters?

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

Anyone have thoughts about where deeply entrenched red states like South Carolina go from here? We now have supermajorities in our state house and senate. And the “fuck around and find out” mantra doesn’t really seem to phase the majority of voters here. So, what next?

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

Problems like our liquor liability crisis aren’t going to get fixed if we keep electing the same folks who have sat on their hands for months not doing anything about it.

Yikes

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

@IAmNickReynolds Always appreciative of the work you and so many journalists do to tell stories. I have to imagine that most lower-propensity voters aren’t getting beyond the paywalls. This has to be factor in the lack of a formidable media ecosystem at the state/local level.

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

It's right to be asking ourselves lots of good questions right now — I prefer making sure we're asking the right questions vs. seeking all the answers within 72 hours. But one of the questions we shouldn't be asking is about the integrity of the election. He won and the votes are still being counted. We cannot lean on Trump talking points and conspiracy theories about uncounted ballots and "missing voters" to evade the reality that he won a free and fair election. Use your time and energy confronting the harsh realities of that and what it means instead of evading the truth about who we are and where we're at.

Let’s make some history tomorrow, shall we? 🇺🇸🔥💪🏾🗳️❤️

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

Bre Spaulding has been the best campaign manager for my first go at this. And we are young!! Meaning we have a lot of runway to make positive change in South Carolina. I’m grateful for her wisdom and friendship. Let’s do this tomorrow yall 🗳️🔥💪🏾🇺🇸 @bre_spaulding

[Taylor Culliver @TCulliverForSC]

There is something very special about hearing from people that they’ve voted for you. Through this campaign we have given people a choice that they haven’t had in over a decade. I know that’s special for both them and me. Onward to Tuesday! 🗳️💪🏾🔥
