Dems gotta run centrists in Texas to have any shot of a color change. No way someone like AOC would ever get elected here. I don’t think a Dem has won a senate or gubernatorial race here since the 90’s.
I’m totally fine with the Beto O’Rourke’s of the world being ran down there as long as D’s are competitive. I might not entirely agree with the candidate but it’s better than having like... Ted Cruz lol.
I wouldn’t say I’m “100% democrat” but rather my core beliefs disable me from ever being able to vote republican. I can’t in good faith vote for a party that doesn’t believe in the science behind climate change; doesn’t believe institutional racism exists/is a major problem; is opposed to LGBT rights; thinks laissez-faire capitalism is acceptable etc. especially in today’s day & age where Republicanism is beginning to form into a very scary looking kind of nationalism + authoritarianism.
