    Snowballs chance unfortunately. I understand getting a Democrat to win in Texas is effectively impossible.

      Its not though. We used to be a Democrat bastion pre southern strategy. People need to get back to voting in their own interest and not party lines. I suppose step one is even voting to begin with…

        So when the Democrats were the racists?

            To be fair, they’re not entirely wrong. Democrats back then were mostly racist Dixiecrats who switched to the Republican party because the national Democratic party decided to push for the Civil Rights Act

            Why do you assume I thought it was only black and white? Obviously they were all racist to some degree, that’s just how it was at the time. It’s just the Southern Democrats were more racist than others… cause that’s who had power in the south back then. Much like their Southern Republican compatriots have quite a bit of power now.

            Just because my comment was pithy doesn’t mean it didn’t have truth in it.
