That spineless wish dot com Herman Munster looking coward remaining my senator has been just as depressing for me as the result of the presidential election.
I get why people didn't like Beto. I didn't like him much either but still voted for him.
Colin Allred though seemed like such an excellent choice. An extremely likeable candidate, with quite moderate policy positions.
Half my fellow Texans just cannot think critically and see through the propaganda they are being force fed.
Cruz's margin (and how different it was from polling) is a shock! This was a systematic miss, I'm curious to learn the root cause once someone investigates that difference... What significant portion of the electorate was missed?
10mil people didn't bother to vote (across the nation), and Latinos showed up for Trump and Republicans to the tune of a +10 margin. Also, women showed up less for the Dems, down 3 points from 2020.
ETA: and Gen Z men were +13 Republican
I don't know if it was really so much of a shock. I saw so many people saying that Texas was trending blue, but every single one of them did not mention the 2022 election in which Republicans swept the entire state by about 10 points. Which is about the same margin that Cruz had here.
Though the polling did seem remarkably off.
Elbridge Gerry has entered the chat.
That's it, Tejas. Back to owned-by-Mexico with ya. 🤌🏼
p.s. Not a jab at immigrants, et al, in any way.
Mexico might just save face and help give them all their rights back if that were ever to happen.
The schadenfreude of bitch-ass bigoted trash being graciously given "back" their jobs they secretly feel are somehow beneath them. I'd pay to stream that directly into my veins. 🤌🏼
You know what? I'll just vote Blue even harder.
We can only ~~get~~ vote so hard.
