US election 2020: Democrats gain popularity among youth in Texas

The US state of Texas has been a Republican stronghold for decades and the last Democratic contender to win there was Jimmy Carter back in 1976.
But anger against Donald Trump in cities and suburbs as well as a rising minority population are giving Democrats hope this time round.
Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher reports from Austin, Texas.

Looks like Texas won't stay cheap for long. I was shocked by how low the property prices were.

Lots of democrats moved away from places like San Francisco and California to Texas.

Voter suppression is their biggest obstacle

Yeah the Gens Y and Z are diverse and educated very liberal and progressive, they’re voting and want the state that represents them, not this leadership. We ain’t worried and all things come in time one election at a tine

In his 1956 book "The Peculiar Institution: Slavery In the Ante Bellum South" then UC-Berkeley History Professor Emeritus Kenneth M. Stampp lists the five main traits of a slave plantation. Read the list and see how many of them may correlate to current socioeconomic conditions of African Americans in long time Democrat run inner cities.

1. Broken down, unsafe, and dilapidated housing.
2. Broken families.
3. A high degree of violence required to maintain control
4. Everybody gets a basic provision. But nobody gets ahead.
5. Nihilism and despair. This is an ongoing, intergenerational way of life.

A Suggestion to ALL Voting Locations: you should have a separate line and few machines for our elderly, our disabled and our voters with precondition elements; if there's no drive-thru voting option.
