“He has introduced this new kind of ‘angertaiment’ where you just get people upset and then you podcast about it, and you write a book about it, and you make some money on it, but you’re not actually there when people need you. Like when the lights went out, when 30 million Texans were relying on a senator to spring into action, he went to Cancun. That’s who he is,” Allred said.

I think I'm cheering for Allred.

not that I have a say or anything. Anyone that can take on the shitstained bag of smashed asshole that is ted cruz...

Anyone can take him on, but it takes a special kind of breakout victory to crack the stranglehold that Texas' corrupt government has on voter controls and active intimidation. Mark my words, Paxton and Abbot are going to be actively clearing out entire polling stations to make sure the state stays the course.

Paxton is the rancid stain left behind by the Piss Baby.

I agree with yoru sentiment they will fuck things up in every way they can. but I like Allred's tone here, just saying.

Yeah. You couldn’t make me go to texas but I’d love a texas I’d be willing to visit.

"So to every Texas woman at home and every Texas family watching this, understand that when Ted Cruz says he’s pro life, he doesn’t mean yours."

Great line

Allred isn’t my ideal candidate for senate but he’s still light years better than the zodiac killer of Cancun, and I’ll happily vote for him the first day of early voting here.

I do not like that boy Ted Cruz

He really makes me spit my booze

Right wing fascism is what he’ll choose

With unlawful acts and violent coups

Steel toed boots is what I would use

To curb stomp his face and see him lose

Rafael needs to go!

He needs to go back to Canada. Or cuba.

While you could argue he is not a natural born US citizen despite both of his parents being US citizens who were temporarily living in Canada, if you wanted to be a dick, trying to send him to Cuba is just being racist.

And needlessly cruel to the Cuban people.

In all fairness, I expect the Cuban people would handle the problem rather quickly.

Ughhh I will be out of town when early voting starts, I want to vote against Cruz again as soon as possible

I'm hoping to make it first in line on Monday tbh

Damn, they got Cruz now too? I thought he was one of the good Republicans!

Please tell me you just forgot the /s tag...

Its dripping with so much irony even my autistic ass can see it. I think theyre good without it.
