Much of what I wrote has been seentime and time again after we Democrats wake up on another early Wednesday morning after Election Day and find we took another hammering.
Such losses might be understandable if Texas Democrats has copy-catted the worst of the Republican platform, like piratize public schools, bust the unions, shut down poor peoples access to health clinics, uphold white supremacy, call for revocation of birthright citizenship, but we dont.
You live in Oregon? Count yourself lucky. Texas seems to be a state where many of the Phillips-headed over choose to respond by voting against. The rascals, not by rolling over and going back to sleep like so much of the Texas electorate.
Yeah, I know there was an uptick in Texas Democratic turnout last year, but I expect too many voters will play sleepy-bunnies again next year.
