BETO


I guess I should be interested in what's happening in the State of Kansas, but I am fixated on what is happening in the State of Texas.
Texas best represents America.. In diversity, economics . politics. geographics, and religion.
As a wonder how America can abide by Lies and corruption, i find the answer in Texas.
A minority hold on all the facets of governing, economics, and religion.
It's a corruption and perversion beyond the scope of anything we have known.
I don't want to deal with what Beto is, or what Beto represents. In the State of Texas it really doesn't matter.
What matter is the ability of the citizens of Texas to make changes. To take back their State.
How can a Texans change the current status of an economic stranglehold, a failure of accountability. A law enforcement with priorities that exclude to Serve and Protect, and a purposeful diminishing of the Rights of it it's citizens. The status of one of the Richest State and the least services to it's middle class and poor. The attempt to control it's position in the classroom by controlling education. A State in which all levels of governing has been compromised.
How do the people of Texas take control back..
Well what we'll find out is how deep it goes., how corrupt it is, and how controlling it's become.
we'll find out if it's too soon to be able to overcome and if Beto Orouke is just a sacrificial lamb. I think it is.. the polls don't matter in Texas. from the standpoint of the people of Texas Beto is way ahead.
Can Beto win?... I don't think so. there is just too much in Texas to overcome

My gosh,.. just listen to the arguments.. It's not even close. As to how the current government does NOT serve it's own citizens.
You think Uvalde was about one crazed teenager ability to buy a AR-15. It was about a local government, and a State government failure...It's was about the Citizen of Uvalde trusting what they shouldn't have trusted and not having oversight. It was about law enforcement That's more concerned about criminal illegal immigrants.. protecting property of those in control, and handing out traffic cititations..... than protecting it's own citizens.

Texas is just a mess on so many levels and Florida is a similar catastrophe. The people down there are living lies and a collapse, and abandonment is coming. In my view the Democratic party peaked about 6 weeks ago and now election day just can't come soon enough. I took advantage of early voting on the very first day, I think I was about 4th or 5 to do so. The truth is I was hoping the press would be there to film the event and I was ready to deliver one hell of an interview. Unfortunately they didn't show up, and it just underscores the problem we have in America today. Yes, I know it wasn't a big story and it had already been reported the vote was about to start. But it just seemed to demonstrate to me the magnitude of the risk America isn't appreciating. A record turnout, especially among women, would go a long way in restoring my faith in our country if the ladies deliver historic rebuke. But how bad is it really? Well, a former female spokesperson for the NRA summed it up...in a shocking proclamation, even for someone with ties to the NRA. She said she didn't care about what Hershel Walker did with some skank, it was about control of the senate. Does it get more disgusting than that? What about Trump's statement about McConnell's spouse? Where does that rank?

Cricket - God I care about my country and I try so hard to hang onto my hope for America but it's one of the hardest endeavors of my life. I'm bitter over the struggle of it. I feel like Trump and these right wing goons have just stolen 7 years and counting of a lifetime of hope and purpose. I'm beginning to wonder, am I going to die in the disappointment of this disgust and disgrace and damage? The reality is this war of righteousness isn't going to end a month from now. The reality is the war is just going to get hotter, and uglier and its going to be more frustrating than ever. I'm just not sure how I'm going to look at things a month from now. I just know I can't go on like this. I guess I'll just follow the lead of others, millions just like me, who feel the same anguish.

Take care...and fight the good fight.

You can't think in the past... what was good. What you want back. the old ways of thinking are gone.

Texas,l unlike Florida... has corrupt election. The counts aren't right.All the people in charge are Republicans.. that's why Beto can't win.. Texas is fixed.

If you think about the population of Texas, there is NO WAY Republicans can have a stranglehold.
Of all the things Trump has done..that seem to be maddening to the Populaltion. corruption, manipulations, Lies, and employee loyalty requirement and sells his soul for a buck..
Texas is even worse..

There is no way a normal population wouldn't vote Abbot out, He's a disgrace.
