Correct. Correct. So, you know, it'll be interesting to see how whichever candidates emerge in that Senate race, how they decide to play it. I think there's been this inclination to kind of try to be like Republican esque and it's not worked so far. So I just I really don't think that that's which path works.
I mean, I think, again, I hate to do it, but like when you're talking about a tight vote and you're talking about a tight election, that's when you're going to start to get into vibes, period. You just are. Because again, you have a certain portion of the electorate that does not have the time to kind of dig into all of the details.

Yeah. Beto was able to energize so many people. But I also think he caught Cruz slipping, right? Like Cruz wasn't anticipating that he would have a real race. So he had that advantage, but he outworked Cruz definitely like, you know, the entire time. So I think that Beto did what we needed done in that moment, at least, which was to give us a little bit of hope.

But it was because of how well that he did. He lost by three points. We know that Trump only won the state by five points. Next thing you know, they want to change all the voting rules, right? Because you end up running away with Texas. There is no path for the Republicans to get into the White House. And that's why it's really important that we make those investments. Texas is a majority.

I really do think that we are missing out, but I think that we need to get on the ground and do the work. And that same election we're talking about, we only had 17 percent of the people turn out. 17 percent of people.

Correct. Right. But like, we also do these like tickets where it's like Beto was the only person that anybody was going to vote for. Like there was nothing else that was like exciting or jazzing them. So we do this thing where it's like, oh, we've got one great candidate and then we don't do anything else.

I told you about people saying that they showed up and they voted for Harris when they were voting for the ticket. I think that we've gotta be more strategic about like, not just, oh, let me put somebody who's Hispanic on this ticket. Like let's get strong people to run who can appeal to every portion of like our state.

Like you can have like people that are progressive and have people that are liberal and have people that are better at media than others, have people that are black and Latino and Asian. We have a large AAPI community. So I think that we've gotta figure out like, okay, who will jazz up some folk? Like who will get them going? And frankly, Black people have not been super jazzed.
