Today 83,000 Texans lost power and prices surged by 400%

Greg Abbott had YEARS to fix this

Instead of fixing ERCOT and the shitty power grid, he spent all his time policing our vaginas

Flying to fancy campaign fundraisers

Building a useless wall

Not attending Uvalde funerals

Ah, it's that time of the year again when Ted Cruz flies to Cancun.

Abbott is a moron, but even worse are all the Texans who voted for him.

And yet, Texans repeatedly re-elect him. Go figure.

@LindaVT @lindyli I’m not sure that’s true. Gerrymandering has made it so. Gerrymandering should be illegal!

@lavndrblue @lindyli gerrymandering doesn’t effect a governor’s race. More likely voter suppression does, but in 2022 the effort to turn out voters for Beto was immense, as was the available info about Abbott’s policies. The majority of Texans voted for him.

Replying to someone

@lavndrblue @LindaVT @lindyli

I’ve heard this argument before but I would really like an explanation on how this argument holds water when looking at a statewide election where raw vote totals count unless TX does something super weird with this race.

@LindaVT @Aphrodite @lindyli

May Voter Suppression is what I was going for. 😁
