and it seems like independent and right-leaning voters are considering him "the lesser of two evils" because they dislike his support of trans people, hate that he said God is non-binary, etc etc etc. However, they are appalled by Paxton's corruption, so they're willing to vote for Talarico or stay home -- it's a default decision, but it's just perverse considering that Talarico has been so moderate about virtually everything in his career.
