Issues IMHO, but that's what I was told.
Was having what I thought was a sane discussion but red state native said it was all political and stormed off.
Sent them this. But didn't help because they said LOTS of people wanting to move to TX. From - California #1

(9,998 posts)59% think the state is on the wrong track, yet 55% of Texan voters gladly voted for the status quo. God forbid they should give a Democrat the chance to try and help.
Count me as someone who will never move to TX.

The poll was also about how people are moving in droves to TX. But it's because it's cheaper to live here - not quality of life or care for anything meaningful.

(42,770 posts)so big. To me means that at least 9% but more like at least 12+ % of Abbott voters think something's amiss.
SoCalDavidS
(9,998 posts)They don't necessarily like Abbott, but they'll vote for him just to own the libs.
The same exact thing will happen in '24 when Cancun Cruz runs. They dislike him, but he's got that all important (r).
I said it a year ago. The Democratic Party would be wise to spend it's money elsewhere, in states where they at least have a fighting chance to win. Had the money spent on Beto gone elsewhere, perhaps the House could have been held. Losing by 11% shows that he had Zero chance, and it was wasted money.

Mr.Bill
(24,319 posts)said "Yes, we are coming for your AR-15s" in a nationally televised debate. While that's fine with me, it's political suicide in Texas.
SoCalDavidS
(9,998 posts)Democrats are simply outnumbered statewide.
And for the majority of voters of TX to live through Uvalde, and the other mass shootings that have happened in recent years, and have a hard time accepting some gun limits, shows what pieces of shit they are.
