Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 11hWell I’d rather win elections than lose and feel superior 100
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 11hGOP spent decades consolidating power here. It’s going to be a long fight. They won’t just go away. 100
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 11hTake a win when you can. Then figure out how to build on it. Don’t just give up. Ossoff is proof it can be done. 100
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 11hHe doesn’t have to get a lot of them. Just enough to lose rural Texas by less. He will win big in large metros (DFW, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso). If rural Texas goes R by 60-40 instead of 80-20, he wins. 2130
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 11hA lot of urban D’s dismiss rural voters as hicks. I live in the city of Dallas, am a fervent D, but have to spend a lot of time in rural areas for work. They see that and resent it. It’s counterproductive 200
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 11hI know it is an R state. I live here. While racism is one reason some rural voters vote R, it’s not the only reason. Religion is a big part of it and I think Talarico can neutralize a lot of that. Fear of the “other” (whatever color) is also a factor. And they think D’s have ignored them. 3160

Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Most persuasive evidence yet that Trump is TANKING here. 050
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My white daughters recently graduated from UT. Those kids in the photo are as “Longhorn” as my kids. Only the top 6% of HS grads get in to UT. They got in cuz they worked hard. After graduation they’ll make the state better. Insecure white guys are just pissed off they have to work now to keep up 110
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026May not be 5, which might be one just north of the blue one 000
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Hallelujah!!! My District, TX-5 (stretches from basically my house in city of Dallas into East Texas) flips blue? THAT would be GREAT. 000
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Just because he said that doesn’t mean it will happen. He’ll say anything and lots of times what he says is a lie. 000
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Because in addition to being corrupt, Paxton is incompetent. 020
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Texas GOP cares about one thing = staying in power so it can impose its will on others. That’s it. It is not a traditional political party. It has no interest in trying to reach across the aisle to, negotiate with, or even represent anyone other than its own base. 030
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 05/10/2026My 19 yr old cousin was killed in Vietnam. His mother was devastated the rest of her life. For what? 262
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Not only that - I can’t see Abbott & Paxton conceding gracefully if (when -I think) they lose. It is just not who they are. It is always darkest before the dawn and I think dawn is approaching. Hold on. 070
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Glad to see my instincts verified. I thought this would happen but Dallas is so blue I don’t get a glimpse into how it is playing in rural areas Paxton is loathsome and Talarico is a good man. 011
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Did you or did you not drop the watchman, right outside the fence, took his ring and four bucks in change? That was Jack Straw sir 000
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 03/10/2026She hopes to cash in a huge IOU from GOP if he who shall not be named wins. 000
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Paxton especially. Those ads are incessant Because he’s got no reason to vote FOR him. 192
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Moved to Dallas from Boston 40 years ago. Never seen anything like this. Talarico can win 030
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Did you or did you not jump the watchman, right outside the fence, take his rings and four bucks in change? That was Jack Straw, sir. 060
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 30/09/2026HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN IN ATLANTA ONCE!!!! A huge city that Fani Willis has also been in!!! Don’t you see??? 011
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 28/09/2026They just can’t deal with reality when it displeases them. So they deny it. Dangerous. And sad. 000
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I think the Oval Office now looks like Liberace’s living room. 000
Dan Callahan @dpc3texesq.bsky.social · 23/09/2026And how, exactly, are people who can’t afford to live here supposed to pay for int’l travel? I can never decide which is worse - their vileness or their stupidity. 020
