Everybody needs to wrap their minds around the possibility that “red states” are red in the general b/c folk who don’t live here keep telling us we aren’t worth time, energy, money or boots on the ground the same way that 90+% White states are. We have MORE electoral votes & POC. https://twitter.com/darakass/status/1233960151901777931
I was paying attention when @BarackObama said there are NO red or blue states. I expect the cavalry to get to Texas EARLY and I’m old enough to remember that both Kamala and Beto were mobilizing us here in March *2019*. Stop taking us for granted, we have *38 electoral votes*. https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/1233621037130145792
We aren’t going to turn red states blue or put the GOP to bed until y’all stop flipping the bird to the South in favor of the heartland WWC. You’re willfully neglecting reliable, enthusiastic voters who are living under tyranny of the White majority & we still need a Juneteenth.
“Red state” Democrats are (and have been) fighting White supremacy, the endless resurgence of Jim Crow & the GOP for 55 YEARS, if that’s not revolutionary or transformative enough for you, how are YOU a Democrat or a reliable ally? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Stop neglecting the South, y’all. It’s dumb. https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/1171802106153635841
🤘🏾Receipts on the #HiInfo coalition of relentless @texasdemocrats who *successfully* beat back GOP voter suppression efforts, centuries of hateful stereotypes, and the silence/neglect of the antiquated primary process to deliver TX to @JoeBiden on #SuperTuesday. #RestoreTheVRA https://twitter.com/docrocktex26/status/1235109052167806976
Respectfully, this is a cop out. ALL of the candidates had enough 💵 to divert away from IA/NH to the rest of the country to some degree. The whole reason Kamala and Beto were able to drive so many Texans to the polls for Joe is b/c they came here in March 2019 for BIG rallies. https://twitter.com/nyliberal44/status/1236055094875115521
It wouldn’t look much different b/c ~55% of Black America has always remained in the South plus the economic calamity of GOP austerity rendered the Rust Belt uninhabitable and the coasts too expensive to survive, so even more POC and reliable White allies migrated back. https://twitter.com/ItsKey_70sbaby/status/1251569109277511681
“This is why Barack Obama won, b/c he said there are no blue & red states...there is no spoon, stop getting put into the matrix of what the Republican Party wants you to believe. What we need to do is join hands against the Republican Party. Period.” 🔥🇺🇸 https://www.podbean.com/ei/pb-afcrz-d9dc2c
“That’s why we’re seeing history repeat itself & that’s why the South is very informative about how this election may shake out, b/c we’re the battlegrounds that have made these decisions in historical civil rights moments.” - @docrocktex26 @RickSmithShow https://www.podbean.com/ei/pb-kxqce-db6dea
Absofuckinglutely but the Feds are too busy putting all their eggs in the bread basket of the WWC, “heartland”, Rust Belt, “real America” places that are greater than 60-90% White, like IA & NH. Hot, nonsensical, non-winning mess. #BroMyopia 🤖 https://twitter.com/wildbrad/status/1259191400526016513
