Elect better leadership. A state government run by a criminal mafia isn’t going to operate in your best interest.
Edit: Of course I’ve got some raging prick cussing me out below because I said go vote. You can’t even tell a Texan to vote without them giving up. This is the reasons the Republicams run this state. The voter suppression they cause can be overcome with effort, which was my point.
But the voter suppression caused by the apathy and laziness of the masses is not something that can be overcome from external forces. So either spend your effort in response to this crying about voting being impossible or work to coordinate.
I already know the outcome after having this conversation in Texas constantly for the last 20 years.
As someone from a deep red state, thanks for the advice. I didn’t realize it was so easy to get around gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the like. I’m glad you showed me the light!
I was removed from the voter rolls in Texas 5 times and still managed to vote. Cry to somebody else. It’s just another form of voter suppression that I was sick of listening to while working to get the people of Texas to vote.
Yes, it does. But I know what it takes to get it done, and I know the voting aged people in Texas don’t care to get off their asses to do what is necessary.
You think crying nothing can be done about it was going to make it better? And the reality is most Texans welcome the likes of Cruz and Abott.
Every time somebody says go vote, some lazy loser cries about how hard it is, another form of voter suppression.
No, I’m complaining about assholes who don’t live in red states blaming the victims of republican governance. There has been a systematic disenfranchisement of vast swaths of the American electorate. Telling the victims of that that we just need to vote harder is asinine.
What we need is solidarity from outside, not sniveling bullshit advice.
Edit: also, fuck off. I live maybe the hardest life of anyone I know. Taking care of my extremely ill, bed bound wife for ten years. I still make it to every fucking election and my wife still votes, even though it causes her unbelievable pain. But even with all our motivation I can’t throw off the yoke of my oppressor because voting in a rigged system is fucked. It is so fucking infuriating to listen to people like you condescend.
So?
You’re not going to convince me it’s not possible.
I also wasn’t too lazy to find a way to leave the state while living out of my car. Because I was sick of the older Republicans and the lazy apathetic youth with a million excuses about why they couldn’t fight for their rights.
You are the victim of your own laziness and blame others for taking action because it disproves your can’t do anything attitude.
Go tell more Texans to give up on voting. Yall chose this shit.
I’m not going to chat with the person of a million lazy excuses about why they are not responsible for their own ability to vote.
And how many non- republican leaders did you manage to get elected? Clearly you un-purging yourself did not result in not “electing a state government run by a criminal mafia”
Come on bro, think about what you wrote, you literally proved his point. Whether it was true or just some shit you made up, you gotta either lie better or truth better.
I now live with non Republican leadership, so clearly I was capable of taking action to find governance worth supporting. You have to assume so much to justify your laziness.
I fought for new leadership in Texas and had these same discussions with people unwilling to get off their asses and vote then as I am having with you now. I drove people to get registered to vote and volunteered for political campaigns. I informed people when I was removed from the voter rolls and asked them to check their status.
In the end, it was always lazy people unwilling to stand up for themselves.
Okay but is pornhub banned under that leadership, yes or no? Or do you get a special exception cause you tried so much harder than everyone else in that district the gerrymander mafia left you?
See what I mean? Your point is moot. Not even picking sides, I live in a lefty state, I have no skin in the game. I was just saying your argument is self defeating because you picked a flawed approach, defending something that already played out and lost. You just gotta work on your tactics in these type of convos, that’s all I’m saying.
Got it, so now we’ve established you were just talking some bullshit you made up, and/or that you failed to effect the change you condescendingly told others to effect with your initial self-defeating comeback and left the state you claim to have un-purged yourself from five separate times. 👍🏻
Dude’s in here literally talking about how he gave up and ran away rather than fighting against the fascist government, and he thinks he’s won and is better than the people who can’t turn tail like him. Can’t find entertainment like this on TV, that’s for sure.
And how did that go? Did you successfully end the problem? I vote, same as you. Difference is I’m not in here chastising people and telling them that these issues are their fault for not voting hard enough.
Aren’t you the guy who suggested people simply “elect better leadership”? I’m just asking how that went for you. If it’s that simple, all your problems must be solved right?
Don’t worry everyone, the guy that (checks comment thread below) left Texas for a blue state has figured it all out! It’s so simple, I can’t believe we didn’t think of it sooner!
I dont see that quote anywhere in my comments? Weird.
Idk why you think I’m going to engage you seriously after the harrasment below. Sorry it took you raging for 5 hours straight and having somebody else help you read to catch up. Have a good rest of your day.

And you don’t think that suppression has anything to do with why Republican fascists win? Telling us to vote harder… smh.
Yes, it does. But I know what it takes to get it done, and I know the voting aged people in Texas don’t care to get off their asses to do what is necessary.

So who are you talking about? I lived in a red state?
“Lived” unless you are dead it sure sounds like this advice is from someone outside.
So? You’re not going to convince me it’s not possible.

What are you doing for the upcoming election bro?
Okay but is pornhub banned under that leadership, yes or no? Or do you get a special exception cause you tried so much harder than everyone else in that district the gerrymander mafia left you?
See what I mean? Your point is moot. Not even picking sides, I live in a lefty state, I have no skin in the game.

No? I have pornhub lmao.
Got it, so now we’ve established you were just talking some bullshit you made up, and/or that you failed to effect the change you condescendingly told others to effect with your initial self-defeating comeback and left the state you claim to have un-purged yourself from five separate times. 👍🏻
You really do suck at this man.
You’re not too bright eh? Try reading the thread.
Dude’s in here literally talking about how he gave up and ran away rather than fighting against the fascist government, and he thinks he’s won and is better than the people who can’t turn tail like him. Can’t find entertainment like this on TV, that’s for sure.
Then why didn’t you vote to change the law after the first time it happened?
I led voter initiatives over 4 elections. What exactly are you doing about it? How many people have you registered to vote?
And how did that go? Did you successfully end the problem? I vote, same as you. Difference is I’m not in here chastising people and telling them that these issues are their fault for not voting hard enough.
So you just vote? That’s where your responsibility begins and ends?
Yea, that’s my point. Lazy.
Aren’t you the guy who suggested people simply “elect better leadership”? I’m just asking how that went for you. If it’s that simple, all your problems must be solved right?
Never said it was simple. I said it was a battle that voting aged people of Texas are too lazy to engage in.
At no point did I deny the election interference. I simply said it could be overcome, but not by the people of Texas.
And I told you all the next solution. Leave.
Don’t worry everyone, the guy that (checks comment thread below) left Texas for a blue state has figured it all out! It’s so simple, I can’t believe we didn’t think of it sooner!
Lmao, you finally figured out how to read. Good job.
Ah, I see you didn’t read it. Somebody had to correct you and explain it lol.
Lol, you’re still sticking to the “I know you are but what am I” defense I see.
What? Are you actually capable of reading English?
Literally you
I dont see that quote anywhere in my comments? Weird.
Idk why you think I’m going to engage you seriously after the harrasment below. Sorry it took you raging for 5 hours straight and having somebody else help you read to catch up. Have a good rest of your day.
Oh, we know you don’t. You’ve made your lack of self awareness abundantly clear
