    I live in Texas. We need people that vote against this BS instead of just leaving. Texas has a say in US politics whether you like it or not, so some of us need to try to get better people in office.

    Furthermore, I’m a man and can afford to stay to fight for women’s rights. I’m still protected, for now anyway.

      My husband and I are both here and voting as long as the military forces us to be here. Every election. Local, state, and federal. Blue. Every time.

      But fuck, the second my contract says I’m allowed to move, I’m selling my house, fleeing this hellhole ASAP, and will never willingly set foot in this state again. Just saying.

      2012 Texas was different than it is today. Not great, but exponentially better. There’s been a distinct decline over the past ~decade.

      Nah you need to leave. Stop trying to swing a state that just needs to implode. Let those chimpanzees tear out each others’ throats, it’ll clean up the house in no time if they’re left alone to their devices.
