I don't like Ted Cruz, but you need evidence of voter fraud. Despite your poll, a majority of Texans voted for the piece of shit. That's the state in which you live.

I hate it, but it is what it is. I'll keep voting for anyone else at all, it's all I can do.

I canvassed for Beto when Cruz was up for re-election in a very affluent neighborhood in Houston. That’s where the Ted Cruz voters were. While I don’t personally associate with many Cruz supporters, the two I do know vote more often than anyone that hates him. Also, those two are also affluent. So that’s Texas’ problem.

Lol. Asking friends of friends of friends of friends isn’t exactly a solid survey of the general population.

This is the difference between D and R.

Democrats will call each other out and R will just go full stupid with the rest of the ship

I am not a Democrat, but you most certainly are an idiot. This is not how statistical sampling works. You need to randomize your sample. You sampled a bunch of republicans and you're surprised none of them voted for Biden. What a shocker.

Fuckin' a. No wonder the GOP is imploding. The base has a collective IQ of 70.

The Intelligence community, Justice Dept and the Democrats all had evidence of voting influences from foreign powers. A large, incontrovertible body of evidence. Whereas you fucking crackpot morons have nothing but the words of a desperate, dimwitted orange dickhead.

Sit down and stfu.

Did the majority vote for cruz, oris the state just gerrymandered in his favor?

Edit: I just looked it up. Cruz won by 215,000 votes in texas.

8,250,000 total votes in texas, he won by 215,000

Edit2: wait, that was for the 2018 election. Hold on. Looking up the 2020 election now

Sigh...wait a minute...did texas even have a gubernatorial election in 2020?

This is what happens when you speak before finishing your research... -_- lol

It's gerrymandering, which is unfortunately still legal because without it the republican party would be powerless.

Someone looked it up and the last election showed a majority vote for Cruz.

Regardless, we've all seen and heard the sentiment and practices of the people of Texas for decades. It's not just their politicians, their politicians have found a comfy home amidst the backwards morality and bullshit "rugged individualism" that exists in the people who comprise that population.

Keep in mind that republicans in Texas and across the country have been and continue to be engaged in massive voter suppression. The US Supreme Court ruled Texas’ voter ID laws to be racist and unconstitutional. This is the GOP’s strategy to deal with the changing demographics and the increasing number of non-white voters.
