Texas Dems To DC: We're Not You
Texas Democrats just drew a line in the sand.

Going into campaign season, we’re going to see a lot of campaign rallies across the state from all sorts of political hopefuls. Some will be big, some will be little, some won’t matter much in the grand scheme of things, and some, like the one held yesterday in San Antonio, will have a much larger underlying tone that could shape the entire campaign season and maybe the entire future of Texas. Let’s discuss.
Yesterday in San Antonio, Beto held a rally featuring James Talarico, Juaquin Castro, and Ron Nirenberg. This matters because, remember, just yesterday we were discussing their secret meeting from last month? What matters more is what they discussed at this rally, who made surprise appearances, and who was noticeably absent.
(The sound is low, but you can hear it perfectly if you turn it up loud enough.) It’s definitely worth watching, but there are some particular moments I want to talk about.
For some reason, I thought that yesterday’s San Antonio rally was going to be the four men who were in that secret meeting we discussed yesterday. I thought I had read that or seen it in a flyer, but after double-checking last night, I realized I had put that in my head, perhaps just an assumption that somehow these four were working together to figure out the top of the ticket. However, after watching each take turns speaking, I realized Colin Allred was not in attendance.
So, I quickly texted a friend, “Allred isn’t at the rally?”
“Nope. Just Beto, Talarico, and Castro. Us vs. DNC.”
