Lame sauce. Can our elected officials just freaking decriminalize weed instead of worrying about dumb crap like this?

    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.

      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.

                    Nah, I just hate that holier-than-thou attitude that you got because you and I are lucky enough to live in places where we don’t have to deal with the crazy bullshit places like Texas heap on top of the normal crazy bullshit like not making voting days holidays and closing the polling places before people get out of work. You’re blaming them for being too lazy to vote when you yourself skipped outta town instead of voting. Would’ve mistaken you for a Trumper if we weren’t literally talking about how awful they are, with the way you make assumptions about people.

                    That attitude ain’t gonna get those asses out of office any faster. It’s just gonna make sure that when the jackboots come for you, no one will have your back.

                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.

                  Yes, it is your fault you can’t find a way to vote. And you are participating in voter suppression as an active advocate.

                  You are half the problem with Texas.

                  Also, I have chronic pain and chronic headaches. I guess that makes all your asshole comments fucked up suddenly?

                    Hey asshole, I said that me and my wife vote every election even though it causes her immense pain.
