The Cruz Amendment

[Larry]

Hes just trying to stop the democrats from destroying our nation.

[jon-nyc]

No he’s not, he’s trying to get press. Prepping for 2024 already.

This is like AOC sponsoring an amendment for the end of the electoral college. It’s just preening.

[Larry]

No, it's not preening. The democrats have made their intentions to destroy our country clear. Cruz is simply trying to block one way they're planning to do it.

[jon-nyc]

It requires a 2/3 vote in both the Senate and the house to even get sent to the states for ratification.

He’s preening.

[jon-nyc]

But go ahead and think he’s doing heroic work. Your counterparts on the left would say the same about AOC “ending” the electoral college via amendment press release.

[Larry]

Or calling attention to just how corrupt the democrats are.

[Jolly]

Great campaign fodder...

The GOP might want that once Texas turns blue by 2028.

[Jolly]

Don't bet on it.

Austin may be electing a couple of GOP to the city council, because the Dems screwed up so badly running the city.

Secondly, half of California may be moving to Texas, but voting patterns change the longer they live in the state. If Texans can fight them off from turning Texas into a hellhole in the short term, maybe they vote more conservative in the long term.

[89th]

I hope Texas stays red. I just think it’ll be borderline blue by 2028 and if that happens it is GAME OVER for any Republican President, pretty much forever.

[jon-nyc]

Well, the parties tend to evolve with the electorate. But yeah, this particular version of the GOP is hard to imagine surviving a blue turn in Texas.

[Doctor Phibes]

As somebody once said, a week is a long time in politics.

[Larry]

89th, have you ever asked yourself just why it is that Texas might turn blue? It's because other blue states are such failures that people are leaving the blue states by the thousands to go live in a red state like Texas. But the morons Bri g their defective political views with them. It's like an invasion of rats who shit their nest full, move to another nest, and start shitting that nest full.

[Friday]

Seems to me that the people moving out of California are trying to get away from the blue.

[Copper]

No police and no airplanes

After living with that for a while some people might prefer red
