No one cares about the people on this forum voting. Seriously. I feel comfortable here saying the majority of individuals here are above average in intelligence and self reliance (as much as that seems doubtful at some times).
Tbe only thing that matters are the massive number of mindless drones with the likes that watch prime time mainstream local news media that barely even know what politics are. The question is if they will show up.
Was that sarcasm or were you just testing the waters of stupidity?
You vote precisely to enable the change you are talking about. Sure your voice my not account for much but remaining silent and not voting guarantees your voice will remain silent.
I've mentioned before that local race is getting awfully close in my previously very red district. GOP must be getting nervous because in today's Tuesday Mailers I got one ad for Democrat, as for republican side I got not one, not two, not three, but FOUR ads for local republicans. Funnily you could tell who the ad is for simply by looking at the "paid by" label - the democratic mailers are always paid by democratic committee, while republican ones are always paid by some "independent PAC", or "Realtor's PAC", or some other bullshit.
I glanced through the republican mailers out of curiosity and one of them featured such gem as promising to lower property taxes while at the same time pushing for better more local school funding. Huh? In our county schools are funded primarily if not entirely through property taxes. You can't lower property taxes and provide better funding for schools. Plus it doesn't get any more local than property taxes. Like, WTF? I wonder who falls for this kind of crap?
I DO VOTE YOU FUCKING DICK BRAIN!
NOTHING EVER GETS ANY FUCKING BETTER!
Done. Voted this morning. When we came in an hour and a half after opening there were 10 or so people filling ballots in the booths, and there were about 15 people ahead of us in line, place was busy, took 10-20 minutes to get the ballot. It was mostly elderly folks, a few middle aged guys, and one college student probably voting for the first time. Really wished to see more younger people, but there were practically none...
Similar story with me though there were probably 60 people ahead of me and they were almost all old and white. I think I saw three people in line who could pass for 35 or younger. If this is how enthusiastic the left is in Texas then Beto is completely fucked. I voted the first morning of early voting at the same polling place in the 2016 elections and the crowd was much more diverse and much more representative of the area.
A lot of states with early voting have reported record high turnouts for a midterm election, that usually spells bad news for Republicans.Just voted today...took less than 20 minutes, even with heavy volume at the regional library branch (a well-oiled machine...even in the parking lot.) They had some stats posted that showed ~21,000 early votes cast in my county alone...that's at 5 polling places that have been open since Wednesday. Decent turnout for a midterm, not sure it's near a record yet.
Crazy open primaries.
He on ignore, so I have no idea what he's whining and or gloating about.Don't bait our Taj troll. Nothing good will come of it.
Such a feisty little middle schooler!
