    As long as Texans are dumb enough to vote for this asshole again and again, he does not need to worry.

      There are plenty of Texans who vote left or can be persuaded to as well. I’ve learned recently that Texas politics are way more nuanced than I realized. The good Texans that want to work together should be invited into the coalition.

        It is a lack of popular reform candidates that loses. The dems run as republican light, not champion of workers. Nothing will change their strategy either they need to be forced out of the party but it is too late with elections being rigged.

      And they are, which is so fucking frustrating. I will never not be salty about Colin Allred losing to him. I really thought they’d be irate over him fleeing Snowpocalypse and Texans actively dying INSIDE their homes in 2021.

      But no, he won the fucking popular vote. Again.

      Also, as someone who moved from Texas to Cali: Fuck off Fled Cruz we don’t fucking want you or your ilk in this state.

      Also, also, I find it extremely funny that he’s leaving Texas ahead of the winter storm again, and I’m heading back to Texas tomorrow to surprise a friend for her birthday. I wish I wasnt living through Snowmaggeden 2: Electric Boogaloo to be quite honest.
