It’s implied in what you’re saying. You want them to move to the right, to appeal to the same bigotry and stupidity that Republicans do. And they will never be effective at that. No one will believe that. So if that’s the plan to flip Texas that’s not gonna work either.

You didn’t answer the question. None of the hard left puritans on Bluesky answer the question: because you have no plans. In no way does “moderate” and don’t use “stupid woke lingo” equate to go full fascist or even Republican. Just nominate sane candidates that can flip districts.

"Just nominate sane candidates that can flip districts." The whole point of gerrymandering is to make this basically impossible. TX fascists have a lock on power. Probably better to focus on overwhelming voter turnout than hoping that a white racist will be impressed with your anti-wokeness.

No they don’t. You can’t gerrymander the whole state. What is your plan to flip the state? You don’t seem to care to try. I would like to win elections. That’s better for people’s lives than being a hard left puritan.

Oh and you care based on what, your posts here? The plan is the same, because that lock on power is also maintained through voter suppression. Purging the rolls, intimidating voters, and so on. Ken Paxton bragged that Trump would have lost TX without him doing exactly that.

You tell me the plan for dealing with shit like this. How's an anti-wokeness campaign going to deal with this? www.newsweek.com/texas-ag-say...

But you didn't say "don't use." You said it had to be specifically condemned. Which is to give into right-wing framing that this "lingo" is everywhere, when it isn't. It ends up being advice to out-right the right, which cannot be done. It wasn't necessary for Biden to win in 2020 during peak woke.
