There are 32 days until the 2024 election. Like in most elections, I woke up with election anxiety this morning. So, of course, I took it to Twitter.

As it turns out, I’m not alone. Dozens of people are stressed out about the upcoming election. Being a Democrat in Texas, it’s easy to understand being nervous during election season.

We thought we would win in 2018. It didn’t happen.

We thought we would win in 2020. It didn’t happen.

We thought we would win in 2022. It didn’t happen.

But what happened was that every single time, we moved the needle. The needle has not been rescinded. It hasn’t gone back. In fact, except for the 2012 election, Democrats have made gains in every presidential election this century. Even though midterms and presidential years are two different animals, we also have moved the needle in midterm years.

Texas will turn blue. It’s only a matter of time.
