Die texanischen Demokraten, die vor Trumps Umverteilung flüchteten, haben uns nicht aufgegeben. Gouverneur Greg Abbott tat es.

>She says she and her fellow Democrats had to resist Trump’s attempt to steal another election. Gov. Greg Abbott certainly wasn’t.
>This special session, they’ve prioritized redistricting above all else, taking up the issue first, even before urgent, potentially life-or-death flood warning systems that top officials promised after the Hill Country floods killed more than 135 people, many of them children.
>“When Trump called up Georgia and said ‘hey boys, I need 11,000 votes, they said ‘that’s a line too far. That’s not how we operate,’” Johnson said. “When Trump called Abbott and said ‘I need five congressional seats,’ he said ‘does July work for you?’”
They’re working overtime to protect *Epstein’s best friend* over their own constituents.
They’re refusing to allow their constituents to be robbed of their representation by halting the quorum entirely and Abbott is so pissed that’s pretending like he’ll arrest them (on no charges).
That’s the opposite of abandoning someone.
So the vote isn’t going to go your way so you beat feet out of town? Is that the Democrats model of Democracy?
Racist pedophile supporters are trying to steal the vote in Texas. Resistance is essential
These motherfuckers have sliced up the metros so badly that I live in one district, have to drive through another to get to my job, which is in yet another district. I live about 12 miles from the office.
Fuck Trump, fuck Abbott, and fuck every other Republican who can’t drop to their knees fast enough to suck Trump’s child-raping mushroom dick.
They aren’t fleeing. They are using the only play they have to prevent more election tampering in an attempt to actually protect their constituents. Something Greg Abbott with his useless legs (no offense to anyone who is actually paralyzed) would never and could never understand.
Why did I read that as “Texass democrats fleeing trumps redistricting didn’t abandon us gov Greg Abbott died.” Oh well wishful thinking I guess
What I wonder is why there isn’t a recall election for the governor? It hasn’t stopped Republicans in California from holding them for any Democratic governor we’ve had. Sometimes multiple times.
Note: I’m not saying that California needed all of these recall elections, I’m saying if California can have recall elections so often, why not have one in Texas?
If I was one of these Texas Democrats I’d tell Abbot “I’ll come back when you walk up the stairs to get me”. Fuck him, fuck their AG, and fuck that rapist trump
Let him try. If the 22nd is abandoned then Obama is free to run again. He would wipe the floor with trump’s sorry ass.
How much time has passed since the horrible flooding you, Abbott did almost nothing about, but now try to shame Dems with while doing the bidding of the Orange Anus?
They all abandoned you.
Come party.

People who make threats like this are spineless cowards
It’s just weird this whole party has abandoned the constitutional talk / „what the founding fathers“ intended. Regardless of what they think, every major city leans left, if their goal is to remove all left leaning representation, I really hope the opposing rally cry becomes „No taxation without respresentation“. Texas doesn’t have an income tax, a good portion of the money pulled is from property taxes…
Ted Cruz literally fled Texas disasters for expensive vacations while his constituents died. Also, he supports the child rapist, Donald Trump.
