More Things Wrong with the El Paso Democratic Party
I could go on and on about this topic for days, but I'll restrict my current critiques to just a couple of areas.
At some point I am going to write about the fact that we are the "Democratic stronghold of the state of Texas" but people don't "need" the party to win elections in this town. In fact, most of the people in town that have won elections lately aren't party regulars, so its pretty sad that the party is largely irrelevant in elections when we are the "Democratic stronghold of the state of Texas".
But here are two problems with our local Democratic Party.
#1-The website. What the hell? The site is fugly and many parts are not updated or functional. Click here to see what I mean. By comparison, check out the Republicans' website.
They kick our ass.
A good website should be clean, easy to navigate, intuitive, and updated regularly. I will volunteer myself and a team to help with this if necessary.
#2-El Paso's answer to Vladimir Putin.
We have two of them.
Blanche Darley and Norma Chavez. For those of you that don't know what I mean, Vladimir Putin was the head vato in charge in Russia and was term limited. Despite the fact that he was term limited, he retains a large amount of power in government simply by changing his title.
So even though he's not the boss, he's still sort of the boss.
The PDN Democrats always have Blanche Darley in their leadership structure and the Camino Real Mexican American Democrats have Norma Chavez who continues to, and probably always will, hold an officer position in the club and absolutely runs the organization. The two clubs have an intense rivalry (actually mostly just Blanche and Norma) that hasn't been seen since Tupac and Biggie.
