Fuck Donald Trump, fuck Ted Cruz. This Texan votes blue. Together we can fix this.
Edit: Fuck Abbott and Paxton, too. Also, sorry my beard is so disheveled.

Remember, if Texas flips, there are no more battleground states.

Thank you

Your beard is great, friend

Your beard may be disheveled but your heart and mind are sound. Thank you for your vote! Thank you for caring about other people!

Did the same, but being in an already-blue bastion, I fear I simply shouted into the void. But people died so I could do this, so you're damn right I did it.

Some good news is that the national-interstate-voting pact is damned close to passing, and when it does, every vote will matter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFZyFmILb5w
Sadly that's gonna wait till 2028 or 2032, but it's close.

@op Thank you sir, for your service. From a vet who holds to the oath taken to protect and defend the constitution.

That, my friend, is a service that is worth being thanked for. You have served your country in the most laudable fashion. Thanks!

Kudos stranger! I'm following the election from the UK, and I'm worried that if Trump wins, it's going to disastrous for your economy and general global standing. There is also a fair chance you'd be electing a potential dictator. If "Project 25" is implemented, your civil rights will be little better than those of a country run by extremist Muslims.
donutposse11337
Agree (in the US, here). And after verifying you as a real person, one small correction. “Project 2025” is the name of the party platform fascist maga hardliners have released to outline their plan to roll back protections and rights of every US citizen, including taking away guaranteed healthcare, women’s right to control their own bodies, reducing birth control access, as well as taking away voting rights, civil unions, worker protections. Plus it dismantles the FDA, NOAA, and other agencies.

Honestly, he'd cause a second great depression, and your economy would get wrecked, too. The tariff proposals are pretty much a recap of the Smoot-Hawley ones which directly caused the great depression. They're keen on replacing everyone with loyalists because of how their efforts were sabotaged last time. It's a lot like Xi, and his demands of "loyalty over competence" are ruining China right now.
I'm terrified because the worldwide economic collapse would almost certainly trigger WW3.

It sucks because it's just "bro logic"; simple, easy-to-explain ideas that sound good in a 5min podcast pitch, but end up being a fucking disaster in real life. It's like watching tragic "human flight attempts" in the 1800s where some poor bloke tries flying a homemade glider and just fucking dies because aerodynamics are complicated. "It's got wings, birds have wings - this should work!"
It's all fun and games until, like Xi, they force people to do their dumb ideas at gunpoint.

Yes on your edits too!! Abbott and Paxton are the devil in real life. Disgusting arrogant bastards.

Abbott, Paxton, Cruz, Nehls... SLIMIEST Texas GOP...

Good job @op. Sending anti-fascist hope from the UK! One hell of a beard too.

I wish I could get a sticker in the mail once my mail in ballot was received! The ONLY downfall of mail-in voting, IMO
CheeseGreaterGood
My mail ballot came with a sticker.
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
But then you could wear the sticker without voting! This is anarchy!!

Thank you sir for your service. From a Vet I can think of no higher honor right now then to vote them all out.
TacTheScribbler
Hell, yeah, @OP! Montanan here, so I know the feeling of fighting against one's entire state (or so it feels, more often than not). I mailed my ballot a few days ago, and I also voted blue.
LordFancypantsicus
Fight the good fight, my brother/sister. Let's hope we can move this mountain.

What's your top bbq spot?
LordFancypantsicus
Great question, I can't pick just one. I haven't been to Snow's in Lexington personally but I have tried their leftover brisket and it is exquisite. Cooper's in Llano is also good, and Mickelthwaite's in the Austin area. But most of all I like making my own, including grinding and casing sausage.

*hands op a tiny cookie
LordFancypantsicus
I mean, I could talk about phone banking and fundraising, but the purpose of this post is just to encourage other Texas voters to get out there and not get discouraged by polls and headlines.
...but what kind of cookie, just out of curiosity?
siflandollysiflandollyshowROCK
For voting blue in Texas I’d make whatever the fuck you wanted, except white chocolate macadamia or red velvet, those kinds of cookies can go fuck themselves
twoamartist
🤣
Bearjahud
I'll take an oatmeal raisin, if you're giving em out. Spouse and I are early voting tomorrow/Thursday here in the land of sad yeehaws, Blue and through.
siflandollysiflandollyshowROCK
I could do oatmeal raisin I’ll make some for myself too, COOKIES FOR KAMALA! Make it a thing…

Chocolate chunk
Doismellbacon
If it's that tiny, isn't it a chocolate chip (off the old chunk)?
BroWtfMann
Nah it's got enough room for one chunk.
LordFancypantsicus
...I'll take it.
