one of the big problems in politics is that accurately describing Republican politics sounds insane
"they're suing doctors for preventing childhood disease" makes you sound like a raving lunatic, but it's literally just mainstream GOP policy
#TXSEN — James Talarico is responding to the new Angela Paxton ad: “Asking Texans to close their eyes and vote for a political party instead of the best person for the job is exactly what’s wrong with today’s politics.”
I cannot stress enough how much modern republican identity is bound up in Texas, and how monumental of a blow to their psyche it would be if Greg Abbott goes down
The inept MAGA morons in Texas never considered that Cornyn was a senior Senator with immense political power and capital that routinely directed funds to TX that no junior senator could ever match.
One of the dumbest political fumbles I’ve ever seen and for what?
We wish more money would've gone to Hinojosa. She'd be far more transformative for TX than Talarico. In one fell swoop she could end the state invasion of Houston ISD, and use the same Abbott playbook to positively reshape the state universities' trustees and regents. -OS
a core fact of american politics is that the median voter desperately wants to be a republican, but absolutely despises republican policies. voting republican is a luxury belief
@davidehrlich Nolan last won it three years ago. Anora and PTA won the last couple so this is definitely possible. Unless he ends up getting shafted like Spielberg did in the 90s.
Ted Cruz goes on college gameday and ABC refuses to air democratic senate candidate interviews and the median voter in this country genuinely believes “the left” controls the media lol
We live in very strange times.
The oldest president in the US history is sleeping, while his Secretary of Health is shaking uncontrollably, all while pushing their conspiracies about vaccines.
@HighwayyChild All of this plus people playing on their phones and/or chatting while at the movies. I swear this never used to be a problem until a few years ago. Now people straight up answer the phone and chit chat in the theater.
I hate being negative but wow I’m tired of everything sucking. People, traffic, quality and prices of everything, etc etc etc.
I drive to the store, people drive like assholes, the card reader doesn’t work, the attendant is rude, I spend $80 on two little bags, I’m SICK.
‘We’re just getting started’ might be the funniest thing Greg Abbott has ever posted. After 11 years as governor and 30 years of Republican control, that’s not a slogan. It’s a confession. Thirty years in charge, and he’s acting like they just inherited the job. 🤣🤣🤣
The only answer should be Yes, I believe he can win.
If she’s hesitant about him winning, then so are a number of her supporters. Again, why does she keep answering questions like this? It’s beyond disappointing now.
Chair @leachfortexas led the charge to impeach AG Paxton, who he now fully embraces because he's the nominee. If Democrats cannot set your own internal differences aside now, you're just going to lose like so goddamn always in Texas. Get it together if you wanna win.
Spirit Airlines gone. Gas prices disrespectful. Groceries cost a whole paycheck or get recalled. The weather is acting like it has a personal vendetta. Miami Beach looking like a seaweed farm. Electricity bills creeping up 10-20%. Kids are feral. & every day it feels like our president is finding new ways to make life harder.
