    Maybe if voters got off their ass in Texas and participated, you’d see some change. 55% of the registered voters didn’t vote in '22. That was after they fucking froze or baked to death because the power grid is fucked.

      Man, I tried so hard to convince folks to vote. Gave everybody links to register, a voting guide, and where they could vote. I tried.

          The margin of victory (in Texas) was actually quite narrow when you consider how many didn’t vote. I’m guessing among the non-participants was at least 1 mil liberals that thought Biden had no chance of winning. This was one of the closest races since 1992 (but that was mainly because of Ross Perot).

        Non-voters aren’t really ‘non-voters’. They’re just voting for “I’ll have what they’re having”.

        I couldn’t imagine throwing away your only voice just to get what you don’t want.

        Edit: Looks like non-voters only vote when it doesn’t count. lol

      Hey now, let’s not get political here!

      …proceeds to move polling booth on the other side of the county, and open only for an hour.
