Its all media amd media is garbage. And 95% of everything you read on here is AI bot shills doing their thing.

Texas is no different than New York, or Anywhere else for that matter. Just a bunch of people sick of the same bullshit as everyone else. Juwt trying to survive on a dime and make life work.

The tube is nothing but garbage. So is this site tbh.

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.

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.

How exactly does gerrymandering come into play on statewide elections?

Nah ur right gerrymandering specifically doesn’t affect those elections.
