      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?

      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)

      https://www.texas.gov/living-in-texas/texas-voter-registration/

      If you are not registered, register here:

      https://vrapp.sos.state.tx.us/index.asp

      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.

          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.
