why report “most well-funded Democrat to run for a Texas senate seat loses to Ted Cruz” when you could instead report “democrat comes closer to capturing senate seat in Texas than any time since 1993”
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.
God remember when u were 12 and you would just Make Art on like spare copy paper with crayola markers and an old pencil and even though you didn’t know anything about anatomy or perspective or anything you were jus happy to b Making Art and u didn’t constantly belittle your own efforts or feel like ur drawings weren’t good enough
