I’ll definitely be voting but I have to keep my expectations low.

This, every election its like "polling shows dems nudging out the GOP"

Then the election comes and its business as usual, texas will never be purple, or blue.

I feel like I’ve been hearing about the potential for a Democrat winning a senate seat in Texas for at least a decade. Which I’m still hoping for. I’m from Ohio so I’ve seen my state shift from a purple state to a red state. I’d love to see a red state become a purple one.

Like Georgia and N.Carolina? And Oregon and Colorado going from purple to blue? It is always shifting and what people think is set in stone rarely is

I feel like in the current climate, it just isn’t going to happen. I’ll be hopeful, but realistic. When a state becomes red, the people in power do everything they can to suppress voter turnout to ensure it stays red forever.
