And your point is? Give up and go hide in a hole? No thanks. I'm an American and I have things to do. Texas may be a mess, and indeed if many people give up as you seem to have done, it will go down the tubes. But we don't have to let it drag us with it. There is far more positive going on than the media bothers to cover- and even that is starting to change. If we want to make the change meaningful, then start writing to those outlets and telling them you expect better. If you can't do something to change Texas, then join one of the groups working on close races to get out the Dem vote.

If you can't do that, then please go somewhere else to hold your pity party. We don't need it. We need allies and people willing to stand up for democracy.
