3. I voted for Talarico and not for Crockett

Yes, race played a factor in my vote. It wasn’t because I didn’t think that Crockett would have made a better senator than Paxton or Cornyn. I like Crockett—A LOT. It’s because I fear that the general electorate in Texas is still racist enough to cause her to lose in November, and I want a win.

IT’s been DECADES since Texas elected a real Democratic senator.
