Why does anyone vote repub? Seriously……. All they do when they have power is pass tax cuts for billionaires and try to undo whatever accomplishments democrats have achieved.
House should be easier to win then it is, but the GOP keeps screwing the dems hard in so many states.
ohio is pretty much a 12-4 R map, but even the people of that state want a 9-7 or 8-8 map. The Ohio gop legislature keeps ignoring the will of the people.
Wisconsin should be closer. Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Utah are clean Republican sweeps and the dems should probably have 1 seat in those states.
North Carolina and Florida had pretty fair maps, but now both states are extremely rigged. Georgia is way too rigged.
republicans only win in the house because of extreme gerrymandering.
My condolences to the smart and decent houstonians who are still without power.
as for the trump voting, MAGA, TEXAS GRID RULES, idiot crowd. Fuck you. How’s your grid doing now? Beryl was a lowly category 1. How would Houston handle a direct hit from a much more severe storm? The thought of you guys doing without power for a lengthy amount of time brings a massive smile to my face.
texas needs to join one of the power grids in the US.
Nothing like dying of heat stroke to own the libs.
add it to the dying of hurricanes and dying of covid. God damn man. Some people will do anything to own the libs such amazing dedication.
I’m glad Stephanie Klick lost. She is responsible for writing that worthless POS compassionate Texans bill from 2015. It’s basically the worst marijuana reform bill ever passed anywhere. It did nothing, but then gave Abbott an opportunity to sign it and grandstand by saying “ this is all I am doing on this topic or will allow on this topic as governor”.
The classic make it look like Texas is doing something, but when you look under the hood, the bill accomplished nothing. In the initial bill, there was supposed to be a 24/7 security guard police officer to “guard” the cannabis oil because it’s “dangerous stuff”. Idiotic out of touch Boomer Texans making shitty laws for the rest of us.
Lots of them know minimal about history and government. They don’t even follow the news. They vote R every 4 years because their church and their state want them too. By golly it’s all about owning the dems and consequences to their own personal lives be damned. They just want to own the libs ok?
It’s extremely backwards and weird because Texas has always been about the individual or it’s all on you. No government help. Don’t ask anyone to support you or feel bad for you. I have mine, fuck you.
from a political perspective, Texas tries to crush the individual by voter suppression, no initiatives/ referendums, extreme gerrymandering, and every decision is made by the state legislature which is definitely not made up of our best and brightest ( far far from it).
They have their 7-9 million voting republican base and they want you to feel discouraged to vote, come in and shut up,accept republican rule for life.
Texas likes owning libtards and stoners.
from arrest to booking, a cop wastes about 3 hours of his time to get a stoner off the streets. Cops don’t mind the easy work because it saves them from actually having to deal with violent and dangerous criminals while also making it look like they’re “ doing their job”.
Our state is run by extremely backwards and stupid ass people.
I’ve never understood this.
Looking at the only Republican presidents in my lifetime Trump and GWB. Their policies didn’t benefit anyone unless they satisfied the following criteria.
1) top 10% of this country financially ( or better)
2) owned a business
3) male gender ( republicans only acknowledge the existence of 2 of these)
4) white
I’m not sure, but if every single one of these guys were registered to vote would it be 10-15 million? Trump got how many votes last time?
The GOP does a masterful job at convincing folks to vote against their own self interests by distracting them with culture war shit like abortion or “libs will kill you if I lose” propaganda.
I could be wrong, but isn’t Ossoff’s seat up in 2026 and isn’t that when Kemp is term limited? Ossoff is probably easier for republicans to beat in Georgia than Warnock would be. Although, I doubt republicans ever make the mistake of debating Ossoff again.
I was hoping we would use the abortion ballot amendment, which the campaign has said they have more than enough signatures to get on the ballot this year, to fix this problem in Arizona.
Let it juice turn out in the election.
It’s not real ( recently).
But during her governor race while she was running in probably the most purple state in the country at the time, before starting a rally, she said that all McCain voters or supporters of him need to get the hell out of here.
The GOP senate candidates this year are so bad. Not a top tier candidate amongst them. Last cycle they had a few decent people like Laxalt, but nobody redeeming or any good here.
Yeah…. Remember when the people that the Texas GOP put in charge of the electric grid almost crashed the damn thing and forced us all into rolling black outs and other people actually lost access to power. Hundreds of people died and still everyone voted R in the next election like nothing happened?
Texas GOP can do anything they want and still win because it’s all about “owning the libs” and muh guns, muh bibles, and owning the gays.
