Texas isn’t a red statestate it’s a voter suppressed and voter repressed state. It also has had a good amount of apathy since neither side really motivates anyone but the most fascist of Republiklan to vote. This election might do it. Energizing candidates on the D side, Cancun Cruz. Dobbs decision pissing off half the people.

I’ll go out on a limb here. This year is the year Texas turns purple. Turnout could actually swing this to the side of good and gain US one D Senator and one POTUS Lotus. VPOTUS Harris gives me hope and optimism. And Coach Walz - Chef’s Kiss off extra compassion

Texas is the GOP's California - it's the state they HAVE to win to take the election jmowreader Aug 2024 #17

I don't think she needs to win FL or TX Zoomie1986 Aug 2024 #7

Harris definitely wins if she's within 5% of either of those states & I guess psychologically we could feel assured... RidinWithHarris Aug 2024 #8

On a strict numbers basis she doesn't need to win Florida jmowreader Aug 2024 #20
