Citizen D spent Saturday at the county convention in Austin, TX. What a site. 13,000 members of the Democratic Party under one roof...at some points trying to yell each other down...but mostly being civil and good to one another.
The TX caucus system is nuts. No one wholly understand it and there is so much room for error, that it is no wonder it gets called into question repeatedly. But somehow...the votes got counted...state delegates were chosen...and everyone got in their cars and drove home.
No matter what your affiliation, there is one thing that needs to stop: accusations of racism.
People are voting because they feel one way or another about a candidate, and to go to that very easy slur of "racist" does nothing but takes us back 50 years or more.
We are better than that.
