    If only our electoral system worked?

    I am saying TX isn’t purple.

    A purple state wouldn’t have SO MANY Republicans at all levels of government.

      Clearly you dont understand who is running Texas. Gerrymandering, removal of ALL ballot drop boxes in Harris County except 1, and so many more techniques to cheat their way to the top.

      I do think protests should be happening, but Texas is purple AF even if it doesnt look like it.

        Clearly you don’t understand my first sentence - you can argue that TX is purple, but the results show that not to be the case.

        I wish we weren’t up against all the things you list that keep TX from being properly represented. But I also have some skepticism, because I think a lot of these things grow from local governance. Were are the blue towns?
