This is our new reality. I am attending the Texas State Democratic Convention. Unlike in previous years, when I would meet other delegates and candidates, this year's convention is all on-line. I don't like it, I think it makes it much harder for those of us in the minority to influence the final outcomes. I do agree with it for this year, since there is no safe way that we could hold something of this size and this geographically diverse.

I know that other states and other parties are struggling with the same issues. I really believe we must all insure that this is a one time occurrence, only in response to a health crisis and that we take measures to see it is not necessary again.

The makeup of this convention will be different than any before and I hope that those that take part this year will stick around and be back in 2 years.

How you you reacting to changes in social structure, political, social and personal.
