Latest @BetoORourke email to supporters goes long on Dem lessons from last week in Texas: pic.twitter.com/BJJOSXaKon— Patrick Svitek (@PatrickSvitek) November 12, 2020
It’s interesting to see all these people coming out with really detailed roundabout ways of saying the moderate side has no leadership and is becoming a career graveyard.
The Chapos shit on Beto at every opportunity. But he did what so many leftists only talk about. He went around the entire fucking state campaigning. He's been barn-burning for years, glad-handing and organizing. The man's a workhorse. And for his efforts, he's flipped two of the biggest counties in the state to solid blue.
This, after watching the Dem establishment strike out in the state for decades, by sending down the same loser consultants to do the same loser campaigns.
If anyone in Texas knows how absolutely useless the DC crowd is, it's my boy O'Rourke.
I wonder if the simple inability to launch and sustain new political careers is what will end up leading to a revolt within the party.
The folks that do the labor run the show, whether they realize it or not. Whether that work is pure Mayo Pete grifting or actual mobilization of the public remains to be seen. But in the end, the real revolt will be lead by the political workers. The Vanguard, as it were.
