It’s absolutely critical to acknowledge that Texas didn’t just Almost Swing Blue out of nowhere, it was with a progressive Democratic candidate who spent the TIME to campaign and energize voters. I will always have criticisms of democrats and frankly the electoral system in general but I really feel like Beto did this in the best way that he could and it WORKED. Even if he didn’t win, he established a huge blue voter base in a state where voting democrat has felt pointless for years. It’s actually kind of cool.
