The email about carney is not productive.

Where is the answer for action?

We added a call to action at the bottom. I suggest actually reading the article and getting involved where you live locally.

Join the NAACP in your city, show up at City Council meetings, go to community events. Wear your Democrat hat or name tag and have business cards. People will come up to you, then ask them what they are concerned about, ask them if they know their precinct chair? If not, look them up, find the chair, if there is no chair then invited them to your local group. Is your local Dem group not doing what you want to do? Then get a group together and do it. Just bitching on line is not an option. Why am I barely on social media any more? Because I am out in my community.

I guess I'm naive, but what I don't understand is why Democratic leadership didn't control those consultants and get relevant, actionable information out of them. I mean, that's the definition of leadership. If military consultants told Eisenhower that storming the beaches of Normandy was likely to fail, would he have acquiesced? Of course his generals told him all the terrible facts and odds of that assault. But, because he was a leader, he used the terrible facts, came up with the best strategy under the circumstances and made the odds work.

So, if a consultant hands you a poll showing long odds in, let's say, Odessa, does that mean you give up or does it mean see and internalize the odds then figure out how to do it anyway? My point is ultimately, it is on Democratic Party leadership. Because the consultants work for them, not vice-versa.

Let me get this straight. Carney knows Blacks and Latinos don't vote, yet they spent how many years crying about the invasion because Democrats were importing voters????? So much bullshit. Stop getting pulled off topic by their garbage talking points. Democrats don't go on and on about showers in high school. That's a Republican talking point...over and over. Just like "they're eating cats and dogs'.

That was literally what he said in the room. We know that isn't what happens, but he made it a talking point. And it should enrage us all. Because he repeats his lies so much that they become true in his head.

Well, tell the top Democrats in Texas this. Don’t just write us write the top Democrats.

What makes you think we didn't send what we learned last week to the TOP Democrats in the state? Because we did!
