A Democratic lawmaker in Texas voted for legislation targeting LGBTQ people. She just lost her re-election race overwhelmingly in a Dem primary.
The winner, Lauren Ashley Simmons, is LGBTQ herself, and a labor organizer. t.co/ZX0mWK3xuv

Fucking good. Nature is healing. I really hope despite all these changes they're trying to make that this conservative virus that's taken hold in Texas gets excised in the next few elections.

Need more litmus tests. The whole "no litmus tests" thingy was a failure for Democrats. Litmus tests, on the other hand, helped Republicans.

So damn tired of Dems trying to "win over" MAGA voters rather than represent the actual people who vote for them. Go Simmons.

This is a gerrymander super blue district - Biden won something like 90-10 in 2020.

I have firmly believed, since the turnout at my precinct caucus here in small-town Iowa in '16, that full-throated, unapologetic progressive politics would do far better in places like this than the timid centrist crap we've had rammed down our throats for years.

Good, we really need to utilize primaries more and stop being so enamored with incumbent status. Lawmakers will not change their views or votes unless the threat of a primary is on the back of their minds.

I'm so happy to see a Democrat in Texas show that we're a lot further to the Left than the many of our timid party leaders want to think. We don't need to chase Right Wing policies to get elected We need to just stand up for what we actually believe and support the people who make up our party base
