You made the claim. You elaborate.

Biden is a neoliberal. They are not exactly known for "taking action". When conservatives make things worse, nothing will fundamentally change under a neoliberal. It's almost like it's a neoloberal slogan or something.

He's not just wrong. He's a conservative, which means he's lying.

Anywhere but the scene of the crime! Are you kidding? Why on earth would you ask Abbott why election results are so inconsitent with polling data? Abbott, a known serial liar, is responsible for all the secrecy, shady vendor dealings and lack of transparency in our state elections. You should not just take his word for it.

I agree 100% and I'm working on that.

You get tossed to collections and your credit is ruined. It makes it very hard to rent, finance anything or get certain jobs.

I live in Texas and lose power for more than a day 2-3 times a year. It's July and I've already lost power (for more than a day) at least 3 times this year so far. Generators are extremely common here. Newcomers learn that lesson the hard way.

Sometimes it's only out for a day and sometimes it's out for 10 or more days. Power companies don't do preventative maintenance in Texas because power companies are unregulated here. It is more profitable for them to wait for something to fail and slowly fix it rather than replace what hasn't broken yet.

In fact, power companies base their trade pricing on availability, so widespread outages are extremely profitable for them, as they can claim there are shortages where there are not. There is no mechanism to prevent this. And since the governor's campaign is paid millions of dollars a year by power companies, they are in control of their own "oversight".

As long as conservatives are in charge in Texas, this cannot improve. It can only become worse.

True! But Texan dems do vote, despite knowing that as long as a conservative is governor, the election actually will be rigged. In Texas, state elections are under the complete control of a conservative governor, as he appoints a loyal Secretary of State to handle his elections.

Are elections in Texas handled with transparency and honesty? Awwe heeelllllll no. They are handled the way you'd expect a conservative to run an election. With secrecy and a creepy little conservative grin. "Oh, you were so close y'all! Oh, well. Better luck next time!"

While I agree that Texans need to continue voting, it seems pretty obvious to me that pacifist methods cannot yield change against conservatism. Voting in Texas is like voting under Putin. Voting is good, but it's not what is going to cause a regime change. Only severe and widespread action can have any effect against the deadly cancer of conservatism.

Conservatism is a plague of idiocy, oppression and death. It always has been.
