Given the new "protections" for partisan poll watchers, I imagine that the 2022 election would be an absolute sh!t show. I imagine that there will be a flood of republican poll watchers violently harrassing voters and poll workers. Abbott and his cronies want to turn Texas into a far right Evangelical sh!thole, and will stop at nothing to keep their iron grip on Texan politics even if 59% of the residents don't approve of it.
Yeah totally. If Beto hadn't done that glory-seeking vanity campaign for President (i mean dude didn't even get elected to the Senate in 2018 and yet he wants a promotion into the White House) and gone bonkers, and if he'd just worked hard for the past few years building up the state party (and he could have did it too), he'd actually be in a really good position to run for Governor of Texas. And possibly win the damn thing... which would have in turn made him instant presidential material.
Sometimes pure naked ambition can backfire on you like a bitch.
Yeah, I agree it was really arrogant of O'Rourke to say "We're gonna take your AR-15" especially being from a state with a high percentage of gun owners. Even without that comment though, I still feel it was a mistake for him to run for president. Had he focused on Texas politics like Abrams did with Georgia, he would have much higher chances. But all his presidential campaign did was make him look vain and arrogant.
