Texan here: we barely get to vote on shit at all. And they're gerrymandering to make it even harder.
I'd call Texas a clown car but it's too big to qualify.
After Civil War 2, Texas and parts of Mexico would end it with a treaty as a single independent country with their own shit stains to live with.
The estimate of the majority Democrats would need to retake the Senate is something like 70/30, based on the degree of gerrymandering.
And the math just gets worse every time maps are redrawn.
How strong is Fair Maps Texas? Assuming it's sincere in its effort to redistrict Texas fairly, Maybe they need more ~~brickthrowers~~ ~~saboteurs~~ sign wavers and clerical volunteers.
