They are heavily entrenched in Texas. They will have to badly piss off most people enough that they all go vote in the same cycle.

Our state government has actually been getting much more radical over the past few years, because the only people who vote are conservative radicals, because everyone else is either apathetic or aware that their vote won't matter unless millions of people suddenly wake up tomorrow and vote.

Millions of people not voting because it would take millions of people voting to elicit positive change and nobody is doing that is one of the most frustrating things.

I refuse to be part of that group. I'm a democrat living in KS and I vote in every single election I can. My candidate may not win, but damnit they will count my vote and know that I dissent.

I look at it as earning my right to bitch about our elected officials
