@CodyEChambers @jeffgoldesq@realDonaldTrump No it isn't. It's one of the largest in terms of seats and the largest in terms of number of general votes. The only reason the Democrats didn't win more seats is because the GOP has gerrymandered so many seats to be impossible to win.
@jwerner05@reesetheone1 And Texas is NOT Mississippi or Alabama. It is a state with a quickly growing minority population and major cities that have all been trending blue for the past decade. Texas is already purple, not the deep red of its past.
@jwerner05@reesetheone1 Beto couldn't beat one America's most reviled politicians in order carry his own state. Beto is great, but he is NOT the best path to beating Trump. He is not the most qualified candidate nor the most charismatic. He is merely the most recent 'white savior' candidate.
In white culture it is a bigger social crime to call out racism than to be racist. The blame for fights, scenes, and hurt feelings gets shifted not to the racist instead of the anti-racist.
This is NOT a conversation that we should be having @reason. This is a garbage article.
@SER1897 @fleetadmiralj socialist agenda, but really are just worried about jobs and union benefits. Both the white left and union groups can be racist as hell or de-prioritize civil rights.
@SER1897 @fleetadmiralj And they all have very different priorities. The 'white left' or 'progressives' focus primarily on socialist issues such as Medicare-for-All. The POC Base and their allies, 'liberals', focus primarily on civil rights. And the union/working class white Dems want some of the +

I love how people are telling us we should vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is. Hereβs the problem I have with that: if thereβs not a woman of color on the ticket thatβs a problem for me cuz we are the most loyal & we are the backbone of the Democratic Party. 1/2
@msleen1970 Especially since there are several women of color who would really help a ticket as VP and at least one who should be the front-runner for president, Harris.
Every time the left gets a boner for the latest white male savior I want to bang my head against the wall.
@msleen1970 @websitenut Women and people of color (especially women of color) are the base of the Democratic Party. Time to allow them to make the choice of who leads. Guaranteed it won't be Bernie or a Bernie socialist.
@msleen1970 @websitenut Any one that says, "Vote with us or get Trump winning 2020," doesn't really care if Trump wins or loses in 2020. They want to use Trump as blackmail against the people most likely to be hurt by fascism.
This is the last time Iβm going to say this. I see people telling HRC supporters we must unify and we must vote for whoever wins the primary. Where the fuck were these people when we were begging for them to vote for HRC? We are not going to fall in line bcuz β20 is our time.
