Holy fuck that's not even close

Bye Abbott!

Holy shitballs those margins are the size of Jupiter lol

I’m loving Abbot getting the boot too. Eat shit asshole

When is Cruz’s ass up for re-election? I’d love for Jasmine Crocket to take the other seat. Plus Cruz being felled by a black woman would be delicious.

FUCK YEAH! Who knew Texas had a backbone. #GoBlue!

I'm out of town/timezone at the moment, so nice to wake up and see this. Not just a win, but a resounding win.

Whoa, an undisputable majority

Fucking 19 points… and 15 for the governor, that's intense

Elon keeps spending record amounts on campaigns and keeps losing. I love that for him.

Nbc just called it a likely win for Talarico so that's two diff orgs

welp, i like to think he really helped the Democrats gets over the line

We pretended you were on the ballot, sir!

Abbot helped a lot too.

Holy shit am i tired of cristofascists. We need more kind generous christians in politics ASAP.

Matthew 22:39 is a passage less christian politicians need to stop ignoring!

I love to see it. I also loved seeing r/conservative melting down.

Turns out $7/gal diesel isn’t popular. Hmm who would have thought.

This is step one in a very long road.

Probably more like a dance move in Thriller. Forward, backward; looks like forward but goes backward. High kick; looks like backward but goes forward.

It took things to get that bad before they flipped. I don't expect them to stay there, but I have blind optimism.

Now let's just hope there aren't so many DINOs that we actually have a majority because i do NOT have blind optimism there.

Most of us don't suck. I keep hearing this rhetoric that because I live here, because I was born ans raised here, that I am a fool or complicit.

I am trans, hispanic, and atheist and I can't leave for many reasons, but amongst those reasons are because

this. Is. My. Home.

I love my city, my culture, my Home. I will fight in the face of the worst of us because I know we can be better here.

Do not damn us all, we're fighting

I'll buy you a beer!

I may take them off my do not travel list.

I remember folks asking in 2024 "What do we do if Trump wins?!?" and my answer was "The same thing you should be doing if Kamala wins: the same thing you should be doing now." Which is organizing locally and building outward.

If you have a union, participate in it. If you don't, get to know your coworkers and normalize talking about what you'd like collectively. Organize your apartment building to get together on the holidays. Know who your city council member is, and your county supervisor. Participate in mutual aid and lobby for laws in your own backyard. Think about not just what you don't want -- Republicans in national office -- but what you really, really want: a shorter work week. Guaranteed access to living essentials. And then find the people, both inside government and out who have ideas for how to do this and ask how you can help. And keep doing it through the ups and downs.

Because your despair at Trump's victory can be just as ephemeral as your joy at Paxton's defeat if this is just sports. But if we have a purpose and a plan, every step forward or backward is part of a journey in which we can see our progress towards something that matters more than just the latest poll.

Even florida had 0.1% difference at one point

Its because people who voted for fascism are upset that fascism is hurting them, personally, instead of hurting just poors, blacks, and immigrants.

Thats all.

This isnt some great revolution of liberal enlightenment amongst the American populace, or the end of right wing extremism, the death knell for white supremacism fueled fascism.

Its nothing more than grocery and gas prices turning trump believers into a temporary vote for the other side, and as soon as that pressures gone they'll go back to supporting the lowest common denominator and continuing the rocket train to hell.

Oklahoma is still as stupid as ever, unfortunately

CNN just called it

NBC called out for talarico just now

Ap called it!

AP has called it at this point. Hinojosa too!

As of 5 minutes ago, Dems have 51 confirmed senate seats.

NBC just called it

I'm becoming excited for Talarico but it's the state top seats that I'm most hopeful for. Yes, Senate is important but Texas governor, Lt Governor, and similar are just as important for the future of the state itself
