I was for Elizabeth Warren early on, then fell for Pete. Some of the things Elizabeth did I didn't care for, but her takedown of Michael Bloomberg was a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Bloomberg, Gabbard, and Williamson were the only ones I absolutely wouldn't have voted for.
The RNC pours money into everything from the local school board race to (I'm not kidding) college student council president. Meanwhile DNC just sits around like, nah, state races really aren't our bag.
Leaning in on his gun statements is good strategy. They are going to play the clip on loop anyway. More Dems need to embrace this strategy. It's time to play the fear card the other way.
Yang and Sanders are also nevers for me. Warren was third for me. Pete, to me, played the game really well. He introduced himself to America and got a Cabinet job that will give him the experience he needs to take that kind of a step.
Sanders did piss me off a lot with the style of campaign that he ran, and Yang has definitely shown that he is not ready for prime time, although I did like him somewhat back then. Pete's showing was astounding given that he was coming out of nowhere.
Iirc, Texas only barely held onto its majority white designation as of the last census (as in, 50.1%). Not to say all non-whites are Dems, obviously, but not all whites are republican either. Those stats may have a thing or two to say about future elections as well.
My best friend is the opposite. Actual fiscal and social conservative... who voted for every Democrat up and down the ballot in Fort Worth in 2020. Because we can argue policy at the ballot box, but only if there is a ballot box. And TFG doesn't believe in them, and the GOP rolled over for him disgustingly quickly.
Scruz?

I don't see Beto overcoming gerrymandering, racist fearmongering, and Abbotts popularity but good on him for trying. Again.
Manchin and Sinema clearly are uncomfortable with Democrats in charge. They really, really want republicans to retake the senate in 2022.
"He's not Abbott" is, actually, an excellent answer.
Good point. I was confused by that at first.

Gerrymandering won't be in play in a statewide race. Not sure Abbott is that popular, either.

Republicans ARE the radical extremists.
Sanders completely showed his ass in 2016 as far as I am concerned.

Yeah, I liked him early in 2016 but was done with him by the end of that year. His 2020 campaign angered me.
