I think the comment stands… the majority of Texas is still red even though last night results are a reason to be optimistic

    I am disappointed but not surprised by your response. It looks a lot like moving goal posts, but even your new goal post isn’t right:

    More voted blue than red. That’s the opposite of a “majority … is … red”—unless maybe you’re looking at the map (and not the number of people who voted) and think land votes. Or are you now trying to lump in non-voters? Your original comment was about voters, so that would definitely be you moving the goal posts.

    I'm not. Texas remains heavily red

    But even if it was not, I am happy to recognize and live with my "mistaken" assumption.

    Were the results from Texas better than I expected? of course, I am happy I was wrong on that. Is Texas a Blue or even Purple state now? hahaha not even close. Having a blue swing after decades of Republican cruelty and corruption is hardly an act to "show me up" here. That is like seeing someone rub they face after slamming it against a post for a decade... good to see but hardly a heroic act

    PS: being a petty bitch in "victory" is not a good look on anyone
