Hey creep. Did you come here for Texas history lessons?

John Fetterman turned me ableist.

He’s canceling appearances. Oh shit was that Trumps last rally yesterday? 2hr SOTU cooked his ass

You ever been stalked by a billionaire? Ask Stormy Daniels how it goes.

Totally unreasonable.

It’s a conservative state and any hopes of it becoming progressive by way of election is a failure in logic. Your own assumptions about how Texas politics plays across the country is the problem. Texas Democrats, the ones who vote, aren’t becoming reliably progressive.

Not in Texas, yea. I can tell.

The Rio Grande Valley is the southern most tip of the state. The Texas border is 1300 miles long and shares border with four Mexican states, man. The RGV is your fingernail in scope. Good lord.

They’re getting it right now. Tarrant County just got it with Rehmet. Are we still talking State politics? Texas Hispanics didn’t go MAGA. They went for economy as an entire bloc.

Border Patrol doesn’t leave the state in Texas. They’re always there. I’m not talking about traditional culture war issues. I’m talking about traditionally conservative value voters who vote economy since 2020. They’re looking for an economic power house for the working class. They don’t give a shit

The unifying Democratic cause is healthcare. It’s been healthcare, it’ll always be healthcare until the end of time. Any candidate that isn’t working on the healthcare project isn’t serious about obtaining power and should get absolutely shit on immediately. Every Dem candidate in every state.

Texas border precincts swung to Republicans in 2020, 2018 is a million years ago.

Beto irritated everybody in TX he’d employed by behaving like a gullible prima-donna and abandoning the state for a wasted presidential run. Political instincts, he has none. You don’t come back from that.

Once again, 44% of Texas population is Hispanic and assumed conservative. If anyone could remember this while talking shop about Texas politics I’d be grateful.

Ticket splitting with a protest vote, or single issue spoiler is an age old game designed by Libertarians camped out on both sides of the aisle.

But there was a unifying, electoral choice to be made, and it was Ukraine. Influencers got clicks on Gaza, and they cashed out.

Wake me up when we start talking about how crypto is linked to the fentanyl manufacturing and distribution racket

Let’s put the blame exactly where it belongs. Right here, right now. Foreign policy ignorant online influencers with genocide heavy content influenced votes and that’s just the disgusting truth of it. <Marketing the protest vote> made a lot of people a lot of money

Did you memory hole Beto?

Yea, here we go. If you’re not analyzing by precincts, you’re not working with the right information. It’s a big state with 33 million people. Your 5mill are farts in the wind. Trump still won the state with a historic pull in 2024.

Tesla, Inc. got into the medical manufacturing industry, you didn’t know?

Additionally, Abbott is up for re-election. Assume the state will stay locked down for a Republican Governor given the current candidates in position. The psychology of the Texas Republican and their votes remains unchanged.

Unless you get real with yourselves about border politics. Low chance.

You underestimate your opponent.

I’ll amend this, the Hispanic vote is in play as swing since Trump 1. Then and only then does demographic/ideological influence come into play and those are still conservative votes.

Correct. Texas has 30 years of voter suppression and severely low turnout. There is no moderate turnout. You swing on voters who already vote. There is no progressive/ethnic vote that swings a race. Doesn’t exist.

Crockett is fame hungry. Dallas needs her, but she’s unwilling to stay put

I think they’ll practice their old tricks, force a run off with predictably low turnout, hedging bets for a May election to take place after the midterms.

The hope being a democratic midterm sweep forces a hysterical response to keep the seat red with Crockett positioned to lose

It’s almost like all these white nationalists need to learn how to process other peoples accomplishments without becoming incredibly fucking dangerous to the country or something

Buddy I keep hearing about these mythical moderate voters in the state of Texas and I cannot for the life of me figure out who they are for a substantial turnout vote and where everyone is giving hope to. I’m from there. You either swing Republicans, or you lose.

Because she gets threatened? Not a unique set of circumstances for anyone opposed to oppression at this specific time in history.

Abortion rights activists could claim the same situational risk to life. But, sure. Standards can wain for you, I suppose. Not me though.

Watch yourself, Bradley. Whether anyone wants to acknowledge it or not, birth control and class action lawsuits for FDA approved birth control methods have a long history. You’re gonna talk yourselves into a corner on this one. Fucking Christ. Fucking patriarchy.

I watched her in interviews after she was approached by someone during a town hall who intended to spray her and humiliate her. She’s on an ego trip, and if she remains posturing from ego it’ll be her undoing eventually. That ego doesn’t equal strategic power. She needs to calm down.

Murray get your fucking head on straight, you’re gonna blow this. Depo Provera? Paragard? Ortho Evra? Christ almighty.

Accurate. These politicians are trying on anger for the first time, and continuing to look foolish in the process. There are no discernible goals. They’re in unfamiliar territory.

Instant gratification for a moment gets you nowhere close to an effective outcome
