Sure. It was smaller than the blue way in 2006 and much smaller than the red wave in 2010. But whether races were won or not seems immaterial. I mean, fuck, for Beto to come that close in Texas? Gillum that close in Florida?
Definitely a shift more to the left. Everywhere.

At least when I was coming up it seemed as though parents were conservative kids rebelled and were liberal and moved to the center and then conversative as they aged had jobs and had saved assets. @CopperCicada @SW-User

I have a conversative nephew who will graduate from Vanderbilt this year. Mine were Temple Penn and Maryland. My other niece and nephew are liberals with crazy liberal parents. Penn and Texas.
