While I’m not holding my breath, I’ve been waiting for Texas to turn for most of my life. This year is the best shot we’ve ever had.

I’ll believe it when i see it. These are the same conservatives who keep re-electing Ted Cruz.
Even if they would just stay home/abstain, it would make a difference.
Not sure why you think this is the best chance we’ve had to turn blue. There have been far better candidates in the past than Hinojosa and Talarico.
It’s not just about the candidates, it’s also the political environment they exist within. Trump is actively hamstringing Republicans with his unending fascist bullshit and immaculate talent for failure, and the DSA is invigorating turnout for Democrats. Talarico is also going up against Paxton, a man despised even among Conservatives. Talarico himself is eloquent without sounding too heady for rural
idiotsfolk.All of those things combined give us one of the best chances to flip Texas. If any one of those pieces was missing, as they have in the past, I think the “Texas is a red state” mentality would win over common sense, but we are fortunate to have this shitstorm brought about by one of the most inept and corrupt individuals to ever hold the office of the presidency.
I think there’s a high chance abott will try to fix the election
