Very Online Texas Dem Convention June 1-6 Thread


StassneyHorn

Recommended Posts

The Texas Democratic Convention is online this year and has a schedule released of different training, caucuses and conversations. I know past cycles after I vote in the primary, I tell myself I'll go, but then the time gets near and I don't want to go downtown and pay downtown parking prices.

Free to register, but they will hound you for donations on every page you open. https://texasdemocraticconvention.com/

Schedule posted on google doc here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Tr5KT7sHJwT9NNnvnRlfygjo7jhN2iA603u937qIJnw/edit?ts=5ece8a10#gid=863660811

Announcement of panels: https://www.texasdemocrats.org/media/release-texas-democratic-party-unveils-fourth-set-of-panel-announcements-and-second-set-of-exclusive-events-for-the-texas-democratic-convention/

Biden, Beto, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala, Warren, Pelosi, and Julian Castro are headline speakers.

Will end on June 6th with Primary debate between Royce West and MJ Hegar.

Posting this here in case anyone gets the bug to watch any discussions and report back any good, bad, and ugly. The site has a dignified but drunk legal roster that may want to watch Judicial candidates panel.

Of the slate today, I only watched the Kickoff and future of Healthcare panel. My thoughts are, it didnt suck. Most of the speaking segments were taped, but a good mix. I think once the heavy hitters come out near the end of the week it will pick up steam.

Wait a minute... There are attorneys on surly?  None of them have bothered to tell us they are attorneys nonstop so I am very surprised by this!  In other news I am hearing rumors that there is a poster who lives in New York City but we have no way of knowing for sure.

Sack went and neg bombed me after I hit him with a neg in the Minneapolis thread. Riot cop had a gun pointed at a guy and his daughter on his shoulders and he asked if it was a paintball gun.

Are there any Vegans?

Was listening in to the non-urban/ rural panel now and the Blanco chair remarked how their caucus really has no choice but to fully embrace digital outreach thru textbanking and online outreach, then spoke on the results. Glad it was stated, but traditional mailers are still being sent but without Texas Democratic Party branding. Cant remember exactly what it was but along the lines of Rural Blanco Coalition, Apparently Blanco doubled their # of democratic voters in 2018. 

Royce West was on the zoom meeting and made his pitch. Second time I've seen him in one. Haven't seen MJ in any, but that could easily be by chance. Spoke on his experience and how he has always been a Democrat, and his accomplishments. Really emphasized how he has always been a Democrat and always shows up (in comparison to MJ Hegar before 2016 and how she was absent through most candidate forums in the primary, did not name her though). "Make Royce your choice" continues to be his High School jingle.

Todays slate. Yesterdays Latino Movement call spent more than half the time driving home the message on how they feel Abbott is more anti-Latino and anti-immigrant than Trump. Started with much hope regarding DACA and in state tuition for some undocumented immigrants.

Currently on Vote by Mail session, have to leave at 1:30 will be missing the State Judicial slate and Gun Violence session I was wanting to see.

General session starts today at 4, with an organizing 101 session at 230.

Took some notes on the desktop yesterday that I don’t have with me, but the Houston chapter said they were sending applications  for vote by mail to all voters over the age of 65. If it happens, we’ll have to wait and see. They were throwing around some pretty big numbers but it wasn’t communicated consistently IMO through the panel. Over 500k was the final number I heard on the meeting.

Democratic debate between MJ Hegar and Royce West tonight. MJ has skipped multiple candidate forums during the primary and has resulted with Royce getting most of the previous candidates endorsements. With BLM protests flaring up, it could bring a highly engaged number of voters for the runoff and would benefit him, IMO. Starts at 6 and can be viewed on the links at the top post.
