      This is great to see. Texas isn’t so much a red state as a non voting state. The more people vote, the better democrats do generally. It’s why Republicans are always pushing for voter roll purges.

          12/15.5=77%

          18/22=84%

          Saying that 18 million more registered voters is more I formative than the percent of registered voters has increased 7% is just ridiculous to me

          One shows real useful to information, the other doesn’t fucking matter.

          If you think that’s “wrong” then I’m not sure how to explain this in a way you can understand.

          But I’m pretty sure youte assuming I’m saying something else
