In Texas, the two candidates in the Democratic runoff for the 35th district include Maureen Galindo, a therapist with no track record in public office, but a history of saying really, really vile things. This includes putting Jews ("Zionists") into camps. She's being propped up by a PAC called Lead Left, which no one has heard of. It's almost certainly a rat fucking effort by the GOP to elevate horrible people with which to smear the Democratic Party and potentially throw swing seats to Republicans.
It's unethical, but in the world of 2026, it's par for the course. Democrats should try and respond in kind.
Get Thomas Massie to run as an independent, for instance. See if you can create a "grassroots" MAGA Party that runs lunatics and siphons off votes from Republicans.
Democrats want to run as institutionalists in a time when the public wants arsonists. In order to keep the house from burning down, you might have to play by a different set of rules.
