Nobody likes ted cruz on either side and he still keeps getting votes.
You mean Senator Rafael Cruz from Canada?
Hey, don’t blame us for this guy!
With all their beady little eyes and flappin’ heads so full of lies
And the US can keep him, no need to bring him back up North.
We may be a dumpster fire of a nation, but piling on more trash won’t make it better.
There was a comment made on Nextdoor (yeah, I know) that called him a good leader. I responded (yeah, I never learn) by simply saying good leaders don’t leave a crisis like he did for Cancun during the power grid failure. People came in droves to defend him. “What did you expect him to do”, “A lot of people left for vacation”, “It wasn’t his fault the power went out”.
This is from people who were directly impacted by it! There is no hope for them.
Maybe they could do what AOC AND Beto O Rourke did.
Ah yes he’s not responsible for… Infrastructure?
so it has been 6 years since Beto, he got close, hopefully his new guy makes it
O’Rourke is such a fucking moron. What kind of pants-on-head, helmet-wearing, short-bus riding, genetic defect of a village idiot tells people in Texas, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47”? And it’s going to be even worse now, because more and more Democratic-leaning voters own firearms than did in 2019. It’s so goddamn infuriating, because by every possible metric, Cruz is a godawful human and has zero principles.
If Dems dropped gun and magazine restrictions/bans entirely, and never brought it up again, they could peel off significant numbers of single-issue Republicans, just like Republicans could peel off a lot of single-issue Democrats is they entirely dropped abortion/birth control restrictions/bans. (And, in both cases, you’re better off addressing root causes.)
It has to be given in context.
He said that after his home town that he was a mayor of, got shot up by a Maga nut job with an AR15.
There is no context that makes this a smart thing to say in Texas when you’re running to be a US Senator. It doesn’t matter how rabidly you oppose 2A rights, you keep your mouth shut and don’t say a goddamn thing.
in another 6 years it’ll be this guy and other one after that. i stopped believing in meaningful democratic prognostications in texas 35 years ago.
It’d be a lot cooler if you did.
October 21st, early voting starts.
