Lame sauce. Can our elected officials just freaking decriminalize weed instead of worrying about dumb crap like this?

Elect better leadership. A state government run by a criminal mafia isn’t going to operate in your best interest.

Edit: Of course I’ve got some raging prick cussing me out below because I said go vote. You can’t even tell a Texan to vote without them giving up. This is the reasons the Republicams run this state. The voter suppression they cause can be overcome with effort, which was my point.

But the voter suppression caused by the apathy and laziness of the masses is not something that can be overcome from external forces. So either spend your effort in response to this crying about voting being impossible or work to coordinate.

I already know the outcome after having this conversation in Texas constantly for the last 20 years.

As someone from a deep red state, thanks for the advice. I didn’t realize it was so easy to get around gerrymandering, voter suppression, and the like. I’m glad you showed me the light!

I was removed from the voter rolls in Texas 5 times and still managed to vote. Cry to somebody else. It’s just another form of voter suppression that I was sick of listening to while working to get the people of Texas to vote.

And you don’t think that suppression has anything to do with why Republican fascists win? Telling us to vote harder… smh.

And how many non- republican leaders did you manage to get elected? Clearly you un-purging yourself did not result in not “electing a state government run by a criminal mafia”

Come on bro, think about what you wrote, you literally proved his point. Whether it was true or just some shit you made up, you gotta either lie better or truth better.

Then why didn’t you vote to change the law after the first time it happened?

It’s easy guys, just elect better leadership!

Don’t worry everyone, the guy that (checks comment thread below) left Texas for a blue state has figured it all out! It’s so simple, I can’t believe we didn’t think of it sooner!

Lol, you’re still sticking to the “I know you are but what am I” defense I see.
