It’s like you are a prophet.

It was a meeting filled with “we need” but zero conversation about “this is how we do it.” No direction. Just the same upset and discouraged voices we hear everyday.

It makes me sad but also lit a fire under me to do something. Not sure what yet, but it has to happen.

Very little focused on the state. Most of the comments dealt with “you can’t talk to stupid people” even though we were encouraged to find a “project person.” The idea to find more people from affinity groups like healthcare, veterans, and teachers was suggested but no “how.”

The meeting was proof as to why the Dems lost the election. There was no direction provided, and ideas like “let’s get @governorwalz.mn.gov and @aoc.bsky.social to come give town halls.” Now, I am not against them coming but we need voices of Tennessee as our state is in massive trouble.

Also, the State Party should be the ones giving ideas and advice, and not responding “we will see” when asked if they will also be writing to Governor Walz about visiting.

*to be fair*

Maybe 5:30am wasn’t the best time to mass post.

The meeting was hard to sit through for me. It was more of the same talk. It was about the billionaires spending money in races, the problems with current administration, focus on how ridiculous the GOP. And no ideas on how to build the party.

If we can’t organize, we won’t win.

We need younger people getting involved. We must have fresh voices and ideas. But we must talk about every day issues. As James Carvel would say, “It’s the economy, stupid.” It is always that. As a party, we must focus on larger issues, helping all people while still fighting for those in need.
