Attention Texas Democrats: this is your wake-up call.
Fresh on the heels of a big win in the Birmingham mayor's contest yesterday, the Bernie Sanders-backed Our Revolution folks are swinging through the Lone Star State this weekend, with Nina Turner and Jim Hightower headlining.
This is probably a progressive populist's last chance to get the party started here. I won't be attending the H-Town get-together, so I hope someone who does will send me a report, or post some pics to social media.
Update: The Progressive Wing has dozens of Tweets, pictures, and video from the North Texas rally yesterday (scroll down into the comments).
Austin on Friday, October 6, Houston on Saturday, October 7 -- note this location has been changed from the one listed on the flyer above -- and then San Antonio that same Saturday evening, Dallas on Sunday, October 8, and Tyler on Sunday evening the 8th. Yeah, hopefully the RGV and El Paso, maybe even the Panhandle, next time around.
Next week is the gubernatorial campaign kickoff for Tom Wakely in Blanco, Texas. My phrase "Bernie Sanders in a cowboy hat" has been repeated twice now by those in the *ahem* mainstream media, mostly with some intended snark. (I'm taking it as a compliment.)
I have, as regular clickers here will note, been harsh on Texas Democrats for their generational ineptitude, and Democrats generally for an unhealthy focus on Russian election influence. More of that just this morning, and the debunking of last week's "bombshells" continues.
There's always time for a fresh start, and that's what Our Revolution and Wakely represent. Take advantage of this one or keep doing what you've always done, Donks. Your choice.
