Vote for every office, not just the president

In TX, Theodore "I left my dog snowflake at home while the state was freezing and without power for a family trip to Cancun then blamed my wife and children for the trip" Cruz is currently up for defeat.

He only just barely won against Beto O'rourke last time. Colin Allred is closing in and needs all the help he can get.

I would love nothing more than to see that snake pick his bags and fuck the fuck off.

I mean, personally, I'd rather he get hit by a bus but survive the initial hit, and then dragged for a ways before dying. But I also really dislike him.

Maybe I'm biased but it didn't work against Abbott. He might not be kicking but he's still in charge.

[–] DokPsy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Him, Abbott, Paxton, Patrick, Cornyn....

His name is not Theodore. It's Rafael.

Rafael Cruz? The Canadian immigrant that hates immigrants?
