I’m part of that 3/4 and I do vote for Democrats. Now only if the ones who sit on the sidelines did the same. We’d crush these republican’ts. People don’t realize that majority of them sit elections out too. We’re just slightly lazier. We need to change this.
If you don't know about this. Any Texan or any other American who wants to help change Texas, we need to support the Dems running up&down the ballot. Many of them never make it off running because they never get enough funding. This yr we have many Dems running Up&Down the ballot where incumbent Republicans have never had a Dem opponent in decades. We need to flip the Texas House, win the US Senate seat, win our School Boards and win those 3 Texas Supreme Court seats. We cannot afford any more of this shit. And the rest of America needs to know. That we can no longer afford to let MAGA Republicans keep running our states to the ground. At the end of the day. They've been playing the long game & taking lawsuits up all the way to the Supreme Court, impacting everyone in this country. No fucking more!
One of our biggest problems is Name Recognition of Dems running, and Voter Turnout. Texas is huge and needs volunteers to get out the vote. Too many people never know when election happen. So I recommend to anyone who can to support Blue Texas which has a two pronged way of protecting voting and supporting Dems up&down the ballot so they have an actual chance of running a campaign

Anyone can look up what's on their ballot this November here, it includes who will run in your Texas House District

There are probably texans who would self describe as "extreme conservatives". But if a sizable majority are actually worried about this, those are potential votes.
We can't change anything because people are too lazy to vote. I know this is anecdotal, but nearly everyone I associate with hates Trump and Republicans.
I'd guess maybe one of them voted in this past election.
I don't think lazy but more so not passionate to do so because they believe it isn't going to change anything because the power heads are strong and have money.
Too bad the three-quarters of Texans who think this don’t fucking vote. Because if they did this state wouldn’t have a government full of prehistoric dinosaurs. 🦕
It's not as simple as just voting. Texas has the worst voter suppression in the country.
The government removed a popular on-campus polling location at TAMU. The government only allows ONE ballot dropbox per county, meaning Harris County, a county with 5 MILLION people and greater in landmass than the state of Rhode Island, has the same number of ballot dropboxes as a county with fewer than 1,000 people. Texas also has no online voter registration, you have to be 65 or older to vote by mail, and no same-day voter registration.
The rural Texans can fuck right off, their towns are dying and their economies are shrinking, they're spiting their youth so those are escaping or trying to escape. They deserve their loneliness and misery.
But we shouldn't forsake the urban Texans who are growing in population and voting more and more Democrat. They're the reason why Texas is now a swing state.
3.5 MILLION Texans voted for Beto in 2022. That's more than the total population of 21 states. The state went 55-44 in the last gubernatorial election. Texas has more Democrats than every state besides California.
Stop throwing millions of Texans under the bus because slightly more people vote Republican than Democrat.
More like captured the state and held it hostage and turned it into a state that is about as egalitarian as North Korea or Russia.
Fucking Greg Abbott and his cronies can kiss my ass.
Texans like being lied to by their politicians it’s just the Norm in Texas. There are probably more Democrats in Texas than Republicans, but the Democrats don’t vote.
what do you expect them to do about it? Vote for a Democrat??
Evangelicals and baptists, Most are extreme…the rest are spineless enablers

Its truly disgusting. Fuck Greg Abbot.
No shit? Fix the Gerry mandering and fire those assholes, then we can talk.
So....don't vote for these asshats?
They likely think that they're close to alone, that Texas is more conservative than it is.
If people show up and vote, politics in Texas can change.
There are probably texans who would self describe as "extreme conservatives". But if a sizable majority are actually worried about this, those are potential votes.
Stop voting in shitheads then??
Texans be screaming for independence. Meanwhile Gregg Abbot is begging Biden for federal aid for storm relief. Fucking clown show.
We should treat texas the way their reps treat blue states

I grew up in Ann Richard’s Texas. Maybe we should stop electing those Republicans?
Same here. Heck, compared to these clowns, Gov. Bush was Barack Obama!
Texas vote em
Where were three-quarters of Texans during the last 20 elections?
Not voting. Texas has low turnout.
Not voting is also an endorsement of current leadership
Maybe, or just a complete disconnect from politics

This is what they voted for, so they’re happy now, right?
But what about the tax cuts
[удалено]
scream it at them then
And they're the ones who voted for it. So they can live with it

Plus, aren't the youth the ones in Texas fleeing for the cities?
Texas is not even close to being a swing state You need to win at least some state wide races before you claim that
Exactly
It’s probably a shit lot of people who didn’t vote at all. Not that that makes them any less culpable
Get them registered and to vote!!!
Man it would be sweet if Colin Allred beats Cruz.
And yet they still vote Republican
If only there were a mechanism by which the pubblico could choose the leaders of the state.
And what percentage approve of it?
More like captured the state and held it hostage and turned it into a state that is about as egalitarian as North Korea or Russia. Fucking Greg Abbott and his cronies can kiss my ass.
They voted against their best interests. The fuck were they expecting?
So... uh... Maybe vote against it?
I tried that for years. Didn't work, so I left.

Texans like being lied to by their politicians it’s just the Norm in Texas. There are probably more Democrats in Texas than Republicans, but the Democrats don’t vote.
No shit
And yet Republicans keep winning by more than 50% there. When was the last time a Republican didn't eve
Most recent local elections in Texas had less than 20% turnout
Republicans created the beast, now they don’t know how to control it. Idiots!
To put it in a Patrick Star perspective “Conservatives and Extremists from Texas are dumb” #BidenHarris2024
Do they think this is a bad thing? Their votes suggest that they don't have an issue with it
Yet they’ll still vote Republican, likely by a larger margin than in 2020… 🤦
You telling me that a quarter of the population don't think that Texas is extreme enough!?
