Are you hurting right now? I’m sorry. Times can get bad. Life can sometimes be down right shitty. Maybe you relapsed for the first time, or even the tenth time. Maybe you had a panic attack and isolated yourself from friends and family today. Maybe you’re someone who thinks they don’t have any friends or family to care about them. For whatever it is you’re going through, I want you to take a deep breath, fuck it, take 5 deep breaths. In through your nose and out through your mouth. Relax. Remain calm. You can do this. Life will go on and you need to be around to see what happens next, okay?
Cruz is gonna be with Texas until he makes a failed presidential campaign just like Perry, isn’t he.
Well, it was a close race with a good heaping amount of voter suppression, let’s not forget that. Then there’s the gerrymandering that divided Austin into six districts. I mean…
Look at this fucking shit right here. Austin is super left and it got so gerrymandered that it looks red. (btw I’m using the House race since it shows the districts)
And then there’s San Antonio.
Take a look at how Houston is divided.
Lucky it’s mostly blue with a flipped district, but notice how a specific district wraps around Houston and slivers right into its heart, making a conservative district. Methinks this isn’t a good representation of the populations that district covers nor the most convenient for the locals there. (must be confusing as all hell to find out where your polling booth is for that district)
And then there’s Dallas/Fort Worth.
Notice how the biggest cities in Texas are divided up, with the fringes of the cities sliced up and devoured by the rural and much more conservative areas. This is what gerrymandering looks like. It’s not representative of the rural people living in those districts and it’s not representative of the people in the cities themselves. It benefits no one but Republicans in office.
If Democrats get any wins in Texas, this is what they had to fight against.
fun history fact: a common argument against women voting was ads with cats dressed up as suffrage activists next to signs reading “i demand a vote” etc, basically saying that if women can vote, who’s next, cats?
wasn’t kidding
i think cats should vote
All they did was make suffragettes cute
I can’t believe this was supposed to be negative I would literally die for these suffragettes.
I can’t believe the last one completely dropped the ball on the opportunity to say “An Advocat for Women’s Rights” like that is prime pun real estate right there, even if they were being huge dicks about it all
