    If 20 million more people vote in this election, the MAGoos will claim that her influence is less than the media lets on AND that it’s a trick by Biden to steal the election.

      Republicans know that their elections thrive on lower overall turnout. I’ve heard them speak openly about trying to pass laws that make it harder to vote on this basis. They aren’t even ashamed of it.

      Higher turnout is the conspiracy, to them.

    Itd be funny if they all wrotr her name in for every position. She could win some spots if enough of her follows were to do so.

    She said to pick the candidate who best represents “YOU”

    She stopped short of asking for “un committed”, but that’s pretty much the only way for our voices to be heard. Why else would you encourage people to vote in a primary where both parties crowned their candidates before it started?

    The only point of this primary, is the last chance to drag Biden left.

    Here’s the whole post since apparently media is cutting off that end bit when reporting

      I get that the Presidential part of the ballot is going to be really critical in 9 months, but there are a lot of different offices and measures to vote on. The Biden vote is like 3% of the things I voted for/against.

        I didnt care at all about the presidential primaries today. I mainly wanted to vote for a better District Attorney here in Houston.

          The Chronicle even endorsed Teare this time around because of the way Ogg mishandled things in the last few years. I voted for her back when she first got in and when she was up for reelection. But there’s been a string of shit coming out of that office recently that’s just too much.

          I voted for Teare in the primary and look forward to voting for him in the general.

            Same. I got tired of all the comically low bails for murderers. Then heard of a ton of other bullshit with her. I believe Teare will win come November.
