We need some strong, national Democratic help to get rid of Cruz and the other gerrymandered, wretched sub-humans.

O’Rourke told reporters he would not seek the help of any politician from Washington when asked if he would accept help from Biden during his bid to oust Gov. Greg Abbott from office.

“I’m not interested in any national politician — anyone outside of Texas — coming into this state to help decide the outcome of this,” O’Rourke said. “I think we all want to make sure that we’re working with, listening to and voting with one another here in Texas.”

Teamwork…. good idea. didn’t happen. a lot of states got shafted. it’s up to us to tell the powers that be to swallow some pride.

Cruz has not made many friends and the only reason most vote for him is the "R" by his name. He certainly has nothing else going for him.

I appreciate you sharing Beto's remarks. Too bad his philosophy did not work. Abbott has been a disaster and there is more to come from him and his cronies.

What did Texans vote for? Mass shootings? Texas’ gun laws are roughly similar to those of about 40 other states.

You did vote for this.


No. 3.5 million voted for Beto. 5.2 million for Biden.

How is that working out?

It’s a living nightmare; thanks for asking.

Quit electing assholes to run your state!
We are trying. Millions of us.

BTW, Thoughts and Prayers!

Your empathy is noted.

Quit lying about California you .........!

Not sure what this means, but if it’s mass shootings by state, California is one behind Texas for the year, and between the years of 2013 and 2019, had nearly as many as Texas and Florida combined.

Of course, when most of us criticize Texas and Florida, we are talking about the Republicans who create those policies...

I sympathize with you and our other loyal Democrats there, who are doing their best--
but you should not take such criticisms personally when you read such things about your state---

we are obviously speaking about "the enemy" which is the Republican party.


I look forward to the day when Democrats will reclaim Texas.

hardly any of those in Texas who VOTED FOR This shit, are reading this board....
just Texas DEMOCRATS here.

Maybe you should redirect to Twitter, with hashtag #Texas ?

Then it would hit your targets....
(see what I did there? LOL)

I’m not from Texas. Your favorite group is Wisconsin. Maybe we take a look at some of the corruption going on.
