I think Biden could win Texas
Really depends if my fellow Texas men actually love their wives or not. I'm not quite sure that they do...
Conservative women hate women just as much as the men do, that's the impressive bit.
They can definitely have the whole "I got mine" ideology down like bedrock in their souls.
I mean, so long as you define "hating women" to mean "opposing abortion" then sex isn't really relevant to who hates women - despite some folks who pretend otherwise it really isn't a men vs women issue, men are pro choice at about the same rate as women.
I do. Next question.
They absolutely completely love the mothers of their children. And they promise to take extra special care of them and make the best decisions for their family. 🤮
It could happen if we could get more people to the polls.
In 2020, there were 21.5 million people in the voting age population, of which 16.95 million were registered to vote, and of those 11.3 million cast a vote. Of the votes, Trump receuved 5,890,347 votes and Biden received 5,259,126.
Hopefully we will have even better turnout this Oct/Nov. We were the first state to have an in-person early voting period and unfortunately, over 40 years later, isn't well-utilized.
For those in TX, the last day to register to vote is Oct 7.
Voting goes from October 21-Nov 1, with one final day to cast your vote on Nov 5.
Applications to vote by mail must be received by Oct 25.

IIRC, more Texans voted for Biden in 2020 than those in NYS.
Thats interesting, i hadn't heard that before! Looks like Biden received 5,244,103 votes in New York, which is 15,023 less than he received in TX.
Looks like TX just needs more of the urban population to turnout to cou tractor the red rural parts.
And more people in California voted for Trump than in any other state. Numbers don't matter, percentages do.
Yes, but the ratios are less in Texas.
