16. Have you ever been to Texas?

Thu Jan 22, 2026, 08:43 PM

Thursday

Democrats do their best here, many times we have districts in which we can't even get democrats to run! To state that we have "an abundance of Democrats more than willing to vote against their own best interests" is a completely ignorant statement. What we have is corrupt republicans who have gerrymandered this state to death.

And it's definitely true that we have folks voting against their best interests down here, but they damned sure aren't democrats.
