When I went to research the different KISD candidates, the very first sentence from Perez on why he should be re-elected to a FUCKING SCHOOL BOARD was that he was a “strong Christian conservative.”
No additional research needed. Proud of the voters.

the best thing about last night... we walked into a home of engaged, motivated and happy people, who care for one another and others even if those others are not like them, and they (we) were straight, gay, white, Hispanic, black, men and women (including trans) and it was amazing, normal, refreshing, and just undeniably right.  there can be hope.

I certainly “hope” you are right.

Was the same for me. When a board candidate waffles on supporting librarians, it makes it really easy to select.

there's going to be a backlash like there always is in the mid terms. the real question is when will good people realize that you have to vote in every god damned election and you have to organize, give money and give time to help our neighbors who are running, from city council and school board to state rep and senate to state wide and then federal and national elections.  it's not an option anymore.

And possibly even more than that, will those who remain passive forget all this shit conveniently.  Like they seemed to in 2024.

Absolutely correct.

Hopefully at least some people might figure it out and I am pretty sure many of the people having their faces devoured by leopards will help swing the mid terms.

Seeing these school board results in Texas is an early, encouraging sign.

my dream is the voucher shit went one step too far and we actually make a dent in the state legislature and congressional races. it's still too much to ask for state wide offices.

I agree and I think we just saw that with these school board results but we need the rural Texans to stand up and say enough!

That will be interesting.

Seems like Democrats really need to hammer whether Texans voted for Tim Dunn, Faris Wilks, and Jeff Yass to run this state or not.

They already fucked their small towns for eternity with the voucher bill.

Yes and hopefully those people will respond accordingly.

Wait until they can longer afford to replace the lights in the football stadium.

Maybe that will wake them the fuck up.

Anyone got a link to how the GOP did on dog catcher races?

This is key, as you know that with the immigration crackdown the strays will be uneaten.

That’s inside baseball, nobody knows who they are.

Texas Democrats need to bang on local tangibles, where even Republicans concede they have a problem, and don’t present themselves well, to wit,

Turnout > changing people’s minds

100% -- my efforts the next 2-3 years will be in convincing sidelined good folk to participate. our cabal added 30-50 new voters to the LTISD tally (about half donated money for the first time to a local election), and that's 10-15% of the vote differential. turnout is it, it will always be turnout. ELECTIONS ARE NOT OPTIONAL.

take a page from the other side - find a villain and hammer the message. for progressives and those who care about all people, the villain is the billionaire. hammer the fuck out of us vs them over, and over, and over.

we as a society have turned into an us vs. them society, I think you lean into it. yes you can talk about tangibles but when you do, the otherside talks about gay commies and george soros and other enemies and riles them up. I think there is something to identifying the villain.

This checks out. From the few races I followed, Republican-endorsed candidates tended to emphasize why they would be good Republicans. The Democratic-endorsed candidates seemed to emphasize why they would be good for the position.

Likely not worth reading too much into, but de-nationalizing local races again would be a welcome development.

Sure, and maybe I'm wrong but I'm just not sure that Wilks and co have any salience outside of Active Democrat circles and GOP intermurals. Elon Musk, on the other hand, seems to be a potent motivator. He's well known and acts weird in public.

I think talking about local issues works in local elections because of who votes in them.

This right here.

Those assholes use every fucking tactic there is which is mostly, make shit up, scare the shit out of people with the made up boogie man, lie like crazy, act like you are a Christian and do it because you know there are so many dumb, gullible people out there that they will believe anything.

And guess what?

It fucking worked, especially that religion bullshit.

That is one of the main reasons Texas went from blue to red 25 or 30 years ago.

Maybe they need to be educated.  Soros certainly resonated with some people.

Evolution has hardwired a negativity bias into our DNA. Use it, because unlike litterboxes in bathrooms, the threat from billionaires turning America into a neo-feudal society of techno scam artists is real.

if only all trumpers followed his lead ....

Teddy Joseph Von Nukem, 35, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on January 30, according to a report from the Texas County Coroner’s Office in Missouri. That is the same day Von Nukem was scheduled to be in court in Arizona, facing four counts relating to illegal import and sale of fentanyl.
