      This is great to see. Texas isn’t so much a red state as a non voting state. The more people vote, the better democrats do generally. It’s why Republicans are always pushing for voter roll purges.

        Republicans lose the popular vote, period. When people actually vote, on every level, Republicans lose.

          12/15.5=77%

          18/22=84%

          Saying that 18 million more registered voters is more I formative than the percent of registered voters has increased 7% is just ridiculous to me

          One shows real useful to information, the other doesn’t fucking matter.

          If you think that’s “wrong” then I’m not sure how to explain this in a way you can understand.

          But I’m pretty sure youte assuming I’m saying something else
