21. I stand by my statement with one clarrification.

I'm specifically referring to the Mexican American population of which I am one.
Too many damn people from my tribe that thinks their sh*t don't stink. They think if they vote Republican then they'll be accepted. The difference between Cuellar and a Republican is a letter. He should be in jail but the Felon knew he works for the highest bidder so he gambled on him. He absolutely should've lost his last election but he fooled his constituents and with the help of Nancy Pelosi. He backed her play and she endorsed him over the progressive young lady whose name escapes me. His constituents would probably still vote for him in jail. Which makes them no different than MAGA'S.
I can appreciate the true Democrats, regardless of race and it must be really frustrating.
But if a Democrat defends Cuellar, that is the ultimate ignorance.

Texas, used to be a swing state but now it only swings to a deeper red. How else do you account for the idiots running it.

I tip my hat to your Democratic Reps. They are definitely fighters, and to those Democrats that vote blue, I apologize for not separating you from my rhetoric, my diatribe is not directed at you. I'm just really pissed, especially at Cuellar
