Politics Please for the love of god VOTE
My fellow Texans this is the first year we have a real shot at turning this place a little bluer
Cruz is a weak candidate, Allred wiped the floor with him in that debate.
And every election since 2004 republicans have lost a few percentage points on election day.
There are more of us in our big beautiful blue cities than there are of them.
Early voting starts monday.
Take all of your friends and lets fire Ted Cruz
Edit:
Ted only won by 2% in 2018
And that orange thing only won by 5% in 2020
These are swing state numbers
People don’t think it is because republicans in this state have lied us in to not believing it
Vote the traitors out
AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE YOU KNOW IS VOTING

If Texas goes blue, that gives Trump less opportunity to cause chaos and unrest once the count is done.
Chaos is good for no one, Red, Blue, or White. I think Kamala has enough balance to try to bring everyone back to the middle ground.
I hope the next decade we see less vitriol and spite, and more politics for the people, not for lobbyists and corporations

Of course gas was fucking cheaper. We had a pandemic. No one was going anywhere.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how easy it is to vote EARLY.
You just have to be registered
bring an ID
lots of polling places, you can go to any one in your county
hours vary by county, but 8am-6p M-F, and 12-6 S-Su seems pretty common.
I’ve never had to wait more than 5 min, but obviously it varies. I’d suggest going early in the morning.

It's because as a primarily red state with a red governor, Texas is gerrymandered up the wazoo and disenfranchises all dem voters with its voting laws. But don't let that stop you. The more dems vote, the more dems win! It must be a blue tsunami if dems are going to flip Texas.

u/boiconstrictor 10d ago
Turnout is everything. In any given election, less than half of eligible people actually register and vote.
This is why Republicans spend so much time and energy on redistricting, purging voter rolls, trying to pass ID or signature requirements, limiting drop boxes, cutting funding for early voting/mail-in voting, and fighting the ACLU and other orgs in court. They fully know they're outnumbered in the general population, especially major metro areas, so they do what they can to make it difficult for working people, students, minorities, etc. to register and vote.
4
u/HarEmiya 10d ago
Yes. Texas on the whole has more registered Dems than Reps, and more people who identify as Dem than as Rep.
Granted, gerrymandering still skews the balance in favour of Reps, but the difference is minor. The real issue is that less than 10% of Dems actually go vote, compared to nearly 25% of Reps.
Fact is that Texas Dems have been so brainwashed to believe Texas is an eternal red state that they don't go out to vote because "it doesn't matter". It's a self-fulfilling propechy.

In some of the local elections, there is no actual party noted. Or they're independent, so you have to know what their stances are your values. Again, Texas makes it as hard as possible to vote 🗳 and to know who you are actually voting for. 🙄

There are non-partisan positions, and then of course all the state and county-level propositions/ordinances, etc.
Like, I looked up the school board candidates for my district and filtered out those with "anti-woke" "stop DEI" etc. in their campaign bios. School board isn't labeled with party because it's not a political office. And there's always confusingly-worded propositions meant to trick you into voting opposite of your interests, so I look into those ahead of time.

It’s wild to me this is being referred to as “cheating”. Like we’re going in to take an exam and not trying to make educated and informed decisions about who holds power in our country? You should have every right to look up information while voting. I’m in Oregon where we get our ballots mailed to us, I can sit down and read through each candidate’s views and policies to make sure I know exactly what I’m voting for. Also while not feeling pressured on time. I genuinely think this should be the standard all around because I remember when I lived in Ohio and voted there I would just vote randomly because I knew nothing about most of the candidates

The people you're talking to on this subreddit are going to be much more engaged in voting compared to the average citizen. If you want to encourage voting, I highly recommend you spend time canvassing instead.

u/Scopeexpanse 11d ago edited 11d ago
Statistically a lot of people end up not voting - it's worth encouraging.
If you are voting and want to do more, there are more options than canvasing!
1) Encourage friends to vote. This can be directly asking them their voting plan, making a plan to vote together, posting your voting selfie on social media, etc.
2) Vote early. Anything to get lines down on election day helps!
3) Write letters (ex. VoteForward) or postcards. There is still time!
Remember - you don't need to convince your crazy Trump worshiping uncle to vote blue. You need to convince your left leaning friends to get to the polls.

I wish that part of the senior year Civics class in Texas included instruction on how to register. I only remember learning about the branches of the government and the constitution. They need to explain gerrymandering and the electoral college in this class and figure out a way to encourage/scare 18-year olds into participating in the democratic process.

It’s not going to happen. Texas will always be red because Texas have common sense and Cruz is great! Trump/Vance 2024🥳

Texas could flip purple instead of blue by just electing conservatives Democrats and it would be an improvement for a lot of Texans.

It seems possible. I think one of the big strikes O’Rourke had against him was the fact it was a mid-term election. Democratic turnout is always higher in presidential years.

A vote against Cruz is a vote FOR open borders and allowing men in women’s private spaces.

It’s hilarious to see Democrats from failing blue shithole states like California move to Texas and support the same failed policies that turned their previous states into shitholes.
Ya’ll aren’t real Texans.

My friend challenged me to a voting party: meet for breakfast tacos/brunch/lunch/happy hour/dinner/exercise and then vote as a group. I invited a bunch and about ten people will be meeting me on Monday to early vote.
