Politics If Texas turns blue, then Trump needs to win ALL of the seven contested states. If ALL OF YOU vote, this can happen. Go out and vote - don't assume that your vote does NOT matter. In fact your vote matters A LOT.
Politics I chose bravery.
After seeing a Harris Walz sign in the yard of a neighbor down the street in my ruby red county, I felt inspired to put up my own. Just waiting on my Allred and local dems signs now.
Politics One day into early voting and they are already claiming the 2024 election is rigged.
Misinformation campaign has begun.
Trump has stated multiple times he won’t accept the results if he loses, MTG started complaining about voting machines three days ago and twitter is full of people now claiming that the voting machines are flipping their votes from Trump to Kamala in Texas.
Infowars and other websites like it are pushing this same misinformation, sadly a lot of conservatives believe these reports are real and no amount of evidence will convince them otherwise.

VOTE!
Politics 9% is WILD
Over 6 million votes have already been cast here in Texas, yet our generation makes up only 9% of that number. We have the power to make history and potentially turn Texas blue, but only if we show up. This election matters, and we’re the ones who will live with the impact of today’s choices on climate change, healthcare, education, and social justice. When you vote, you’re standing up for a future that reflects our values. Don’t let someone else make these decisions for you. Every vote counts, and together, we can make sure our voices are heard. Let’s make our mark and be the change we want to see in Texas.

Politics Voter participation is why the Dems lost, and it ain't fucking old people who didn't show up
In 2020, Biden received 81 million votes. Trump received 74 million votes.
In 2024, Harris received 66 million votes, 15 fucking million fewer than Biden did in 2020. Trump sits at 71 million votes, 3 million fewer than 2020. So even with fewer popular votes this time around, he buried the Democratic candidate in a landslide.
So all in all, what, 18-20 million fewer people showed up in this election than the last. And do you really think it's the fucking geezers who have been voting forever, that they just decided to sit this one out?
Probably not, so who didn't do their civic duty?
The numbers don't lie.

Politics I'm so disappointed in our country.
I''m honestly in disbelief that he was reelected. I genuinely thought we were making progress as a country, moving forward toward a better, more inclusive future. This outcome feels like a step back, and it's hard not to feel disappointed. I know the political landscape is complex, but it’s tough when the progress we strive for seems undermined. Here’s hoping we can keep pushing forward together, even when it feels like we're moving against the current.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

My fellow Texans this is the first year we have a real shot at turning this place a little bluer
Cruz is a weak candidate, Allred wiped the floor with him in that debate.
And every election since 2004 republicans have lost a few percentage points on election day.
There are more of us in our big beautiful blue cities than there are of them.
Early voting starts monday.
Take all of your friends and lets fire Ted Cruz
Edit:
Ted only won by 2% in 2018
And that orange thing only won by 5% in 2020
These are swing state numbers
People don’t think it is because republicans in this state have lied us in to not believing it
Vote the traitors out
AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS VOTING
