5. In red states we don't have to carry all the rural areas, we just need our own there to vote.

Not become discouraged, disenchanted or give up. But rather, be enflamed, angry and focused to help carry our blue cities across the line! We don't have to win our counties, cities and towns in a GE. We just have to join with our blue cities to win!

Beto almost beat Cruz in Texas. Imagine if 200k more angry Democrats would have made their way to the polls? Then look at all the seats Texas did flip blue. It can be done if we just get off our butts, quit bellyaching about our "Republican neighbors" focus and actually be locally active in the party. Get out the damn vote red state Democrats!

This PSA was brought to you by a fellow red state Democrat.

It's ugly, hard work... I understand that, but your state has success stories from 2018. Let's make sure it has even more in 2020, ok?
