Don't tell me it doesn't count if we're not winning. Just wait.

Comparing the Texas and National Democratic Platforms: Who leads on progressive policies?

Yesterday, the National Party released its party platform (link below). I’ve put it next to the Texas Democratic Party Platform to compare ideals and policy side-by-side. The results are not shocking. (I wasn’t surprised.)

Before you get to the comparisons, check out some speeches by Texas Democrats on Day #1 of the DNC in Chicago.

Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo.
There is no question about it. Lina Hidalgo is a rising star within the Democratic Party. Although her speech was short and part of a panel, it was easy to see why Texas Democrats love her so much.

1. Texas has provided a few!

LBJ, Ann Richards, and Beto immediately come to mind.

2. Depends on what you're asking

Members of the party in TX (in general) are less progressive than those in the nation as a whole… but many of the elected representatives are more progressive due to gerrymandering and otherwise heavily-blue districts

3. I completely based it on platform....which was made by members of the party.
