Abbott just trying to throw some FUD around because hes trailing in polls to Gina and starting to sweat.

Still not getting my hopes up though, if anyone can capture defeat from the jaws of victory its texas democrats.

I’m fine with a multiprong assault for this, fearmongering to get those that works on to show up, while the candidates themselves provide positive messaging, doesnt seem like those have to be mutually exclusive

I’ll take it if it scares more people to go out and vote. Never assume anything is in the bag

Don’t be upbeat. Go. Vote.

“I don’t have the ability to change anything . . . so I have to live with whatever I’ve got. So it’s a challenge.”

You always do. If you dont believe in the messaging or what they are doing, drop out of the race you spineless twat. Oh whats this, you love the vitriolic messaging, you just dont like the loss of authority.

Well yeah, that was his main qualification to get the job in the first place

Can’t really fault him, ive been making the same mistake thinking he was a lifelong republican all along as well.

Texas is basically at the foreground of voter suppression, tons of disinformation being thrown around, polling places being fucked with and removed last second, and for district based races, we’re basically the apex of gerrymandering in the states.

Last election tons of blue districts in houston were running out of paper ballots and not getting requisition forms filled, then they refused to extend the poll hours to let people vote, so people in disenfranchised areas waited hours to vote and still got turned away.

Its about staunching the bleeding and preventing (more) voters from switching to Democrat. Ive talked to several people who voted red for all their life that are breaking ranks and i assume they’ve seen the same so they’re very scared. Talarico seems to have a better shot then any democrat in recent history to flip a senate seat, even more than Beto before he shot himself in the foot by going hard against guns in Texas after the mass shooting in El paso, his hometown.

Unless they are literally on a spit above a fire then torched is on the same level as someone being slammed, which is to say not at all.

Why would he? trump is already committed to this quagmire with no winning way out, he’s in no position to make demands from them.

Let them fight.

Even selfishly, considering said battlefield has a non-zero chance of being on US soil against protesters since apparently its ok now to mobilize the marines against protests now.
