Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And they keep voting this asshole back into office. Texas, go figure.
Look, sure, Ted Cruz might be a miserable, pathetic, cowardly, repulsive excuse for a human being who licks boots at every opportunity and is more than willing to sell out his constituents and his country for the smallest of kickbacks. But have you considered - Democrats think LGBT folk are human beings???
Clearly, Texas has no choice but to vote for Ted Cruz.
I mean, he may hate his constituents, is despised by his colleagues, and actively makes both his home state and the entire country worse... but he has the 'R' next to his name, what do you expect boomers to do!?
That is precisely the logic my family presented to me in 2016.
Saying it's boomers is reductive and actually inaccurate (and thus insulting to half or more of the boomers)
White, protestant, with less education? Now you're talking big-R, baby!

You jest, but I know people who think like this currently living in Texas.
May they all freeze to death.
I hear there might be Hamas tunnels under those neighborhoods
Can confirm, I live in one.
they like big things in Texas. doesn't really matter what it is, just that it's big.
And this guy is pretty much the biggest asshole they've got.
"I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz."
I'm voting for Collin Allred, I'm just one vote though.
i'm joining you...so that's 2 of us...oh and my husband...3! 3! people who don't want that POS in the Senate.
My husband and I are votes 4 and 5 for Allred too!
Fuck Fled Cruz!
