As someone from a deep red state, thanks for the advice. I didn’t realize it was so easy to get around gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the like. I’m glad you showed me the light!
I was removed from the voter rolls in Texas 5 times and still managed to vote. Cry to somebody else. It’s just another form of voter suppression that I was sick of listening to while working to get the people of Texas to vote.
Yes, it does. But I know what it takes to get it done, and I know the voting aged people in Texas don’t care to get off their asses to do what is necessary.
You think crying nothing can be done about it was going to make it better? And the reality is most Texans welcome the likes of Cruz and Abott.
Every time somebody says go vote, some lazy loser cries about how hard it is, another form of voter suppression.
No, I’m complaining about assholes who don’t live in red states blaming the victims of republican governance. There has been a systematic disenfranchisement of vast swaths of the American electorate. Telling the victims of that that we just need to vote harder is asinine.
What we need is solidarity from outside, not sniveling bullshit advice.
Edit: also, fuck off. I live maybe the hardest life of anyone I know. Taking care of my extremely ill, bed bound wife for ten years. I still make it to every fucking election and my wife still votes, even though it causes her unbelievable pain. But even with all our motivation I can’t throw off the yoke of my oppressor because voting in a rigged system is fucked. It is so fucking infuriating to listen to people like you condescend.
So?
You’re not going to convince me it’s not possible.
I also wasn’t too lazy to find a way to leave the state while living out of my car. Because I was sick of the older Republicans and the lazy apathetic youth with a million excuses about why they couldn’t fight for their rights.
You are the victim of your own laziness and blame others for taking action because it disproves your can’t do anything attitude.
Go tell more Texans to give up on voting. Yall chose this shit.
I’m not going to chat with the person of a million lazy excuses about why they are not responsible for their own ability to vote.
So instead of voting, you took the lazy way out and went running with your tail between your legs. Just another “lazy youth with a million excuses about why you couldn’t fight for your rights.”
You come in here acting like a fool when you did the exact same shit that you’re accusing people of, and you wonder why you get met with hostility? Maybe take a step back and look in the mirror before you mouth off. Because I dunno if you smoke pot, but you sure look like one in here.
So now I’m too lazy to leave my home? Read a couple posts up asshole. My wife is completely bed bound. We can’t even leave the house. Have some goddamned humility for once.
Most people in red states are being abused by our governments. It isn’t our fault and assholes like you who think that are bad people.
And how many non- republican leaders did you manage to get elected? Clearly you un-purging yourself did not result in not “electing a state government run by a criminal mafia”
Come on bro, think about what you wrote, you literally proved his point. Whether it was true or just some shit you made up, you gotta either lie better or truth better.
I now live with non Republican leadership, so clearly I was capable of taking action to find governance worth supporting. You have to assume so much to justify your laziness.
I fought for new leadership in Texas and had these same discussions with people unwilling to get off their asses and vote then as I am having with you now. I drove people to get registered to vote and volunteered for political campaigns. I informed people when I was removed from the voter rolls and asked them to check their status.
In the end, it was always lazy people unwilling to stand up for themselves.
Okay but is pornhub banned under that leadership, yes or no? Or do you get a special exception cause you tried so much harder than everyone else in that district the gerrymander mafia left you?
See what I mean? Your point is moot. Not even picking sides, I live in a lefty state, I have no skin in the game. I was just saying your argument is self defeating because you picked a flawed approach, defending something that already played out and lost. You just gotta work on your tactics in these type of convos, that’s all I’m saying.
Got it, so now we’ve established you were just talking some bullshit you made up, and/or that you failed to effect the change you condescendingly told others to effect with your initial self-defeating comeback and left the state you claim to have un-purged yourself from five separate times. 👍🏻
Dude’s in here literally talking about how he gave up and ran away rather than fighting against the fascist government, and he thinks he’s won and is better than the people who can’t turn tail like him. Can’t find entertainment like this on TV, that’s for sure.
It’s ez guys, just leave Texas, run to a blue state, and then condescendingly tell Texans to just vote harder like 200 years of racism, gerrymandering, and voter suppression is their fault.
My favorite is that he turtles and says “you guys can’t read” when you point out how fucking stupid he sounds.
I was removed from the voter rolls in Texas 5 times and still managed to vote. Cry to somebody else.
This you?
Elect better leadership. A state government run by a criminal mafia isn’t going to operate in your best interest.
This also you?
I now live with non Republican leadership
This also you?
Lol no I have pornhub
THIS. ALSO. YOU?
So you either live in Texas where pornhub is now banned, the LITERAL topic of this post, making your JuST eLecT Nu LeEdeRShIP comment the dumbest thing ever said, which explains your absolutely impressive number of downvotes, OR…you don’t live in Texas and are talking out your ass. Still. Inexplicably, despite how many people have pointed out how stupid you sound.
And how did that go? Did you successfully end the problem? I vote, same as you. Difference is I’m not in here chastising people and telling them that these issues are their fault for not voting hard enough.
Aren’t you the guy who suggested people simply “elect better leadership”? I’m just asking how that went for you. If it’s that simple, all your problems must be solved right?

And you don’t think that suppression has anything to do with why Republican fascists win? Telling us to vote harder… smh.
Yes, it does. But I know what it takes to get it done, and I know the voting aged people in Texas don’t care to get off their asses to do what is necessary.

So who are you talking about? I lived in a red state?
“Lived” unless you are dead it sure sounds like this advice is from someone outside.
So? You’re not going to convince me it’s not possible.

What are you doing for the upcoming election bro?
Okay but is pornhub banned under that leadership, yes or no? Or do you get a special exception cause you tried so much harder than everyone else in that district the gerrymander mafia left you?

You really do suck at this man.

Lmao, you’re now digging down to bonding with the dude who can’t even read.
Yup, you sure showed me.
You’re not too bright eh? Try reading the thread.
This you?
This also you?
This also you?
THIS. ALSO. YOU?
So you either live in Texas where pornhub is now banned, the LITERAL topic of this post, making your JuST eLecT Nu LeEdeRShIP comment the dumbest thing ever said, which explains your absolutely impressive number of downvotes, OR…you don’t live in Texas and are talking out your ass. Still. Inexplicably, despite how many people have pointed out how stupid you sound.
Which one is it Mr. “You guys can’t read”?
Then why didn’t you vote to change the law after the first time it happened?
I led voter initiatives over 4 elections. What exactly are you doing about it? How many people have you registered to vote?
And how did that go? Did you successfully end the problem? I vote, same as you. Difference is I’m not in here chastising people and telling them that these issues are their fault for not voting hard enough.
So you just vote? That’s where your responsibility begins and ends?
Yea, that’s my point. Lazy.
Aren’t you the guy who suggested people simply “elect better leadership”? I’m just asking how that went for you. If it’s that simple, all your problems must be solved right?
Never said it was simple. I said it was a battle that voting aged people of Texas are too lazy to engage in.
At no point did I deny the election interference. I simply said it could be overcome, but not by the people of Texas.
And I told you all the next solution. Leave.
