Just fucking vote.  

Texas is a non-voting state and that's why our state leadership is so bad. 

Rs control everything and no change. Dems vote a bit more but still lose everything.

And that’s why Texas is a non-voting state. “My vote doesn’t matter” permeates and spreads.

I have been trying to get everyone in my office to register and vote.  Especially the new hires that moved here from out of state recently.

old man yelling at clouds rant.

You would think that our elected officials would look at polls indicating how Texans feel about certain issues and somewhat align laws with opinions. And voters would punish them if they don't.  Texas doesn't work like that, and honesty why should politicians care what citizens think when the politicians are rewarded based on their current actions.

And hats off to the Texas GOP. They take a federal issue like illegal immigration, simultaneously claim to be solving the problem AND that it's getting worse, and that the other side will really make it even worse. Never over estimate Texas' voters intelligence.

Every friend and family is good about voting.

Texas has lots of people that knee jerk Republican and making Texas a voting state will reflect that.

So have to get out the non-Red vote. 

Given the willingness of people to be scared of brown caravans, this is still Pickett's/Faramir's Charge.

I've never wanted a candidate to win more than I want to see Beto kick Abbott's ass in 46 days. It would be the greatest 50th birthday gift I could ask for!

I have come to hate rural Texas and lost all the pride I used to have in the state. That is all. 

I think the absolute best case scenario is Collier and Garza win. I think Beto is a lost cause, unfortunately. Realistically I think Collier gets within 2-3 points, and Garza eeks out a squeaker, but Paxton pulls some fraud shenanigans that take months to sort out.

I would like to see how Beto operates in an exec role in govt but the timing is still off for him.

Looking forward to two years’ worth of analysis saying Texas demographics are turning bluer by the day and by God damn next election will prove it.

 

I’ve given up hope and come to the realization that even our traditional Democratic demos are more stupid than the national average.

Republican house / dem senate / wheels, potty Patrick, crook Paxton still in charge

This.  Just look at the Beto thread right now.  Complete nonsensical shit show from the right.

  This state blows my mind. They are pushing hard to be Christian Nationalists. Women here vote against their own interests. Brown people here vote against their own interests. People fall for the shipping immigrants elsewhere clown-show. GOP has been saying immigration here is getting worse while simultaneously being the only show in town. People here swear immigrants are coming to take their jobs and then a moment later talk about how their is a labor shortage. 

 

  Nothing will change. However, I will cast my vote with my dick out.

Rural Texas = aggy.

aggy = embarrassing shitshow.

It is known.

I’d love to be proven wrong, but our dumb fucking rube friends in DT will wring their hands over inflation and pull the lever and give a big old 👍 on voting against the safety of their wives and daughters

Going by yard signs only, you'd think we were in the midst of a red wave in my neck of the woods. It seems the other evil Nehls twin is mounting a spirited challenge to KP George for Ft. Bend County judge.

I think Garza has the best chance at flipping statewide if there is one, followed by Collier. Anxious to see the margins in state house.

I’ve seen more T Nehls signs than any other in my hood.  Like 20 to 1 for other signs.
