If you were in charge of the Texas Democrats, what would your goals be?

Mine would be:

- Stop running Beto O'Rourke for every election. He was exciting in 2018, now he's just a perennial candidate.

- Deemphasize gun control. It sucks, but most Texan voters love their guns, even after Uvalde.

- Keep playing those horror stories like Kate Cox's and emphasize that Republicans are anti-freedom.

- Actually organize voter registration in major cities and stop going to rural counties. Lack of a ground game is the main reason Democrats often poll well until it's actually time to vote.

This is a reasonable post and is productive.   Not the bedwetting and doomster ones that make you look ridiculous. 

If the 60 days away from Atlas creates this kind of thought (and I agree with much of your commentary here), the ban was worth it.
