I mean, I also hope he wins. But Democrats being unable to keep their website up just as voting starts, then trying to brag about it, is pretty much a textbook case of why he won’t.
I had no idea that happened, and I’m engaged in this stuff. If somebody is going to vote for fucking Ted Cruz because a website went down, they’re a deeply unserious person with a lot of privilege.

More that websites are supposed to help campaigns coordinate GOTV efforts. And canvasers/phone bankers struggle when they can’t access their candidate’s most basic tool of mass communication.

I keep seeing this line flaunted. Do Democrats really think sneering at undecided or apathetic voters can win them an election? Feels like Hilary 2016 all over again.
And if pointing out their privilege makes them go, “Gee, my feelings are hurt. Guess I’m voting for the felon/Cruz/etc!”, then again, they have so much privilege to be that disconnected from reality and able to make a choice based upon general vibes.
Meanwhile, there’s real consequences to who and what we vote for. I would love to have lots of people vote for Harris and Allred, but I’m not obligated to lower the bar for them two weeks from the election; maybe it really would be better if they just stayed home, because obviously they can’t be bothered to give even a single fuck about the effects of their choices.
If there’s still undecided people this late, I’m all outta fucks for them.
Not my problem. I’m not going to grovel at the foot of people who obviously don’t care about anyone but themselves anyway. If they did, they wouldn’t be undecided this late in the cycle.
If you don’t buy into that fear mongering, you don’t have anyone to vote for.
Yeah, because they’re both basically the same on economics, women’s rights, foreign policy, union support, LGBTQ rights, choosing judges, climate change, listening to scientific experts, etc. /s
This is why it’s not about fear. Fear has nothing to do with it. If you (general) think both candidates are the same, then you have insane privilege to have a life where these things don’t affect you even by proxy, and I say again that such a person is deeply unserious about what is at stake when they vote.
I hope Allred wins, if for no other reason than I wish Cruz would fuck off to anywhere else for the rest of eternity, never to be heard from again.
ETA: and I voted for Allred, so I did my part.
He’ll probably fuck off to Fox News as a pundit but at least there he’ll be quarantined.
Help volunteer for Texas Democrats to help get others out to vote!

The post states “if you go to a non existent page”
You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about.

it’s called a “404 error.” a 404 message occurs if you type in a website url incorrectly. for instance, https://colinallred.com/underpantsweevilsuredoesntknowwhathestalkingabout redirects to that message. the website is still up, you ignorant wretch

Good luck closing the gap in underdog races.

Part of the problem with modern politics is in how the parties only know how to terrify their constitutes into action.
Media fill people’s brains with nightmares of Islamic Transgender Antisemitic Hispanic Vegans doing a Communist Revolution in Ohio.
Then Republicans and Democrats argue over who will fight this menace more aggressively.
