It's fine to be disappointed but they deserve kudos for their efforts and the only thing that can possibly change Texas is the voters of Texas. I live in Texas and it is like living in a state that is controlled by religious fundamentalists and backwoods rednecks. It gets worse every year. This is who Texas is and not only Texas but almost all of the bible belt and midwest.
If you look at a map of the US it is beet-red with blue dots because most major cities are diverse and therefore controlled by Democrats.
The only way we can win is by unifying the Democratic Party and understand that no candidate is perfect but you have to win in order to govern.
