Why is Texas political leadership entirely composed of mouldering corpses??
Because democratic Texans have been convinced that their vote doesn’t matter. However that couldn’t be further from the truth. Ted Cruz would have lost his last election if something like 6% of registered Dems who did not vote, had voted. Also Greg Abbott would have lost if around a quarter of those registered, non-voting Dems had voted. The propaganda in TX is deeply ingrained in its residents. The state would have voted blue in the last presidential election. Trump won by 8% while over 20 million registered voters did not vote.
IF YOU LIVE IN TEXAS AND YOU ARE READING THIS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS LIVING, VOTE.
here is a link to verify that you are registered (many residents believe they are registered but are in fact not)

If you are not registered, register here:

Print out your registration and mail that fucker in today so you’ll be ready for early voting in October
YES TEXAS HAS EARLY VOTING AND TIME OFF LAWS. THAT MEANS WORK CANNOT PREVENT YOU FROM TAKING TIME OFF TO GET TO THE VOTING BOOTHS.
There is also the voter suppression.
Don’t forget gerrymandering!
It’s a gumbo of cheatin’!
Voter suppression also includes telling people that voting doesn’t matter, and that “both sides are exactly the same”.
If multimillion-dollar political campaigns can’t generate more enthusiasm for voting than the “It doesn’t matter” crowd can suppress it then the politics are bad.
Don’t flatter yourself/them, inaction is infinitely easier than action. I don’t think the “don’t vote” crowd is good at suppression, I think they’re just dumb and lazy.
As opposed to the “smart and proactive” people who vote once every four years and pat themselves on the back for a job well done?
I’ve been doing that my entire life, but politics sure do seem worse now, don’t they?
Worse than what? Then the 60s? The 70s?
Go ahead and withhold your vote, I’m sure that will work out great. Everyone knows the Overton window shifts towards the people who don’t vote or participate in elections. The Republicans have shifted further and further right because the neo-nazis and alt-right fuckwads and gamer-gate idiots all banded together and simply didn’t vote.
And the state party that is utterly incompetent at anything other than shutting out progressives.
The biggest hurdle for voters is registration in Texas. It is the most effective form of voter suppression followed by the “your vote doesn’t matter” propaganda. You cannot register to vote online. You register to vote through a few obscure avenues. The way I linked above is a mail in form. You mail your registration and they mail you back a confirmation and vote location based on your address. God forbid you move or misspelled something on your registration form or get your registration by snail mail sent out too late. If it’s time to vote and you end up realizing you’re one of the many people not ACTUALLY registered, well now you really do not have enough time to get registered for this voting cycle because the USPS can take 5 business days to deliver, the state of Texas can take 5 business days from receipt to process your registration and then 5 more business days for USPS to deliver your information. 3 weeks… If it’s time to vote and you aren’t registered, you are not voting.
It becomes significantly easier to renew your registration once you are registered but you have to register first.
Not enough people show up to vote. Biden got more votes than Greg “Piss Baby” Abbott yet he’s still our governor.
Is this piece of shit STILL not in jail?
Good ol boy network in action…
Republicans in action.
Felons helping felons.
I know. That dude needs to go away and not come back.
Texas: We want more teen births! We want more abortions! Especially unsafe illegal ones! This is the Christian way!
“We want more low income unwanted children to grind up in the military industrial complex.” Ftfy
Ft hood ain’t getting recruits otherwise.
Killeen is a fucking rough place.
Fort Cavazos ain’t getting recruits otherwise.
We struck that traitor’s name off that installation last year. Eighty years later is better than never.
My bad.
I forgot they blackwatered that place after enough suicides and rapes.
Glad the fucks name is gone nonetheless
Biden should prescribe birth control to all female teens in Texans in an official act and tell them to suck it
If they’re sucking it, they don’t need birth control.
The stomach is where the baby is, and you want to put it right there. Checkmate, oral sex hating feminists.
Texas should be put in the naughty corner.
If pornhub statistics from before they pulled out of Texas (pun intended) are any indication, they’re statistically likely to like the naughty corner.
PornHub statistics: showing the true people.
Nuh uh, the supreme court says he gets to do whatever he wants now
Can a small sinkhole swallow up Abbot/Patrick/Paxton already.
Those three are absolute trash.
In cases like these, I wish there was a god, because then there would at least be accountability for these dipshits.
I haven’t eye rolled so hard in a while. Didn’t this already happen last season? Get some new material.
Kamala’s gonna be the impetus voters need to turn Texas blue and it ain’t ever going back. Performative cruelty has no place in Texas or America.
Kamala challenging Texas’s Red with the Big Iron on her hip?
Make them have the babies we want to send to prison to keep our economy strong!
He appears to be having a, uh, episode. Or something.
Making fun of or pointing out someone’s physical appearance, even though they suck, is not the take you think it is.
Kinda just makes you look like a jerk next to an asshole, y’know?
The creepy weirdos strike again.
Republicans say they don’t want to take aim at contraception
Yup, uh huh, we all believe you.
Also: How the hell am I supposed to impregnate my 12 year old daughter if she’s having these damned devilish science contraceptives?
So when a 12 year old is having their flow every week, what happens then?
According to Republicans it means she’s prime breeding material apparently.
They ignore all other uses for birth control and only think it’s for preventing pregnancy
