Transcript

Not me boohooing. Every time it's time to vote, I vote blue. Every time. Because I live in a red state. Texas is always red. It doesn't even matter. And it feels like my vote doesn't matter, but I try every time. It really felt so good to vote for James and Gina, but I'm just like, I already don't have hope that it's going to work. Sorry, it's just, I've been here my whole life. I know how this goes. But it felt really good to vote for James and Gina. Let's go. Sorry, I'm just.
