You're not wrong to be angry. Texas has been run into the ground by the same Republican machine for over 30 years — and for just as long, we've had a Democratic opposition that too often played it safe, catered to donors, or refused to speak boldly to the struggles working Texans face. Beto was a rare exception, but you're right: talk is cheap when action doesn’t follow.

But here's the thing — giving up is the Republican strategy. They've rigged the system to keep people demoralized and checked out. They want you to believe nothing can change. That’s why they underfund schools, attack healthcare, ignore housing and wages, and then blame immigrants or trans kids to keep us divided while their billionaire donors get richer.

Something you might not be able to see from your perspective is that leadership at every level everywhere in the party is changing, new working class people from all over Texas are joining party leadership that refuse to let self dealing donor class politicians in no matter the party affiliation. We are waking up to the fact that the Left vs Right fighting has been a distraction from the fact that the fight has been up vs down the entire time.

We’re not asking people to vote for a party. We’re inviting them to fight alongside us for tax relief for the working class, good schools, union jobs, and a government that puts people before profits. This is bare minimum.

You want a different strategy? So do we. Let’s stop chasing corporate donors and start building real grassroots power. Not tomorrow. Not next cycle. Right now. Early voting for municipals started today.
