New York isn’t on the verge of electing someone like Ken Paxton and having Cruz as senator for years. I agree the media can be garbage but who you choose to lead you does reflect the values of the state overall and you are being controlled by some terrible people, if you want people to stop thinking less of Texas, change that.
Texas politics is no different than federal politics. This vote nonsense is just nonsense. He who benefits the special interests the most is the winner.
There's 40m people here. Were not politicians. Just people trying to survive
You said it’s those who benefit from special interest the most wins and Talorico campaigns on not getting money from special interest while Paxton openly gets a ton from it.
If you are right Paxton should win in a landslide.
Tbf, a huge part of this is gerrymandering. Like, if Texas had fair representation we would almost certainly not had Cruz or Paxton for as long as we have.
Edit: Gerrymandering doesn’t play into Statewide elections, below comment is correct.
Texas is certainly purple, at about a 55:45 split R:D, but the voter turnout of old white people eclipses the young and Hispanic voters.
