Here’s the thing, this doesn’t just apply to Missouri. GOP-dominated states, and their attorneys general, are all pushing for terrible policies. If we don’t contest races in red states, if we don’t have the money to fight in these races, it ruins the entire country.

The good people of Missouri have the power to change it. They must realize that these politicians make their everyday lives more difficult instead of helping them. Citizens can & should organize as a grassroots group to teach them a civics lesson they won’t soon forget. Michiganders did it in 2018.

Parts of GA (and red areas of any state) will not vote for a Democrat no matter how qualified the candidate. That's why an ignorant, lying asshat like MTG keeps getting re-elected. I donate to her opponents but kind of feel like I'm wasting my money. I'm sure the DNC feels the same.

AI: “Draw the MOST Racially Discriminatory, Pro-White Race gerrymandered district maps as possible, directly violating VRA race prohibitions.” That’s the Map the TXGOP made. The Texas White Power Map. Texas Republicans stand for WHITE POWER! Nothing Else. And believe all White Texans do too.

TX is a minority majority state. They need to gerrymander or they wouldn’t stay in power

Greg Abbott could be voted out at any gubernatorial election by a plurality of voters statewide. Last time he won 55%-44%. Cruz and Cornyn also ate reelected without gerrymanders.

"They only stay in power through gerrymandering" was the previous assertion. If you want to add suppression to the equation too, fair. But Abbott keeps winning by about a million votes, which is kind-of a lot.

One million votes. Always a double-digit margin. If Abbott only wins because of voter suppression on that scale, isn't it just as hopeless as if he were winning by at least 10 points fair and square?

THIS is why we can’t have nice things, like democracy. You are BOTH correct! Race based gerrymandering AND voter suppression keeps this criminal syndicate in power. Keep that message going to block it. AND We Texans must NEVER give up the fight for ALL Texans to enjoy happier lives. So, we vote.

My point is just that I've spent years hearing about how Texas could turn blue, and yet it gets further away. If it's all pure suppression denying the clear desire of the majority for a Democratic governor ever since 1990, I'm not sure what the fix is. How do you reform without winning first?

Texas is nearly 50/50 R/D. Plus independents are exploding and up for grabs. But the voter suppression from Paxton is going to be on a whole new level from here on out. LULAC will be arrested and broken up, NAACP voter drives will be raided by his “election integrity” police. Because it works.

2/ myself they could request a provisional ballot and by law the poll worker (who shot me a nasty look) had to give it to them. The poll worker had just kept telling them they weren’t listed and couldn’t vote. Then the over policing and criminalization of black ppl, preventing their votes.

I feel like we do… kind of. And it’s not just that it’s restricted polling stations in blue dots, make sure democrats sense areas have long long lines. Close voting on Sundays bc ‘souls to the polls’ bused old ppl to vote. Purge ppl even if they consistently vote.

If our democracy survives, AG Bailey should be near the head of the queue in whatever truth and reconciliation processs we end up with. His odiousness is not limited to Missouri— he's a liar who lied about student loan debt relief and got SCOTUS to scuttle it, then set out and killed the SAVE plan.
