Do you think that as a senator that Talarico wouldn’t vote with the Democratic party on most if not all policies? What policies, destroying the Middle East? Oh let me guess, that started with Trump. You mean the policies like giving American money to Nazi soldiers in Ukraine? Because yes I do believe that he would, and that’s my point, the Dems in my state use both of those as positive policies. That’s why I can’t vote blue no matter who out of principle. I’m sorry I like to hold politicians to standards. But again, I don’t believe in a blue Texas or blue Florida y’all would have much better luck holding politicians to lefty standards up here in the Midwest.

If you think that every politician will vote for finding more destruction in the middle east, then that point is a wash across the board. In the end either Paxton or Talarico will be a senator after this election regardless if you vote or not. I’m not even going to address your Ukrainian Nazis bullshit, because of all the dumb shit you’ve said, that’s right there at the top. So with that, what’s left? How about all of the other policies that get voted on, like domestic policies that do directly effect Americans? You do know that there in fact is more than just the middle east, right? Paxton has shown time and time again to be bad for Americans and Talarico by all accounts will push better policy. So yea, that’s a win for the left. You act like if everyone just stops participating in voting that all of this will just correct itself, and that’s dumb AF. Maybe you also missed how in the Midwest there are many positions that are predicted to flip blue. That is holding representatives accountable to a degree, but I’m sure that’s not the accountability that you’re looking for. So after all that, it sounds like instead of voting you’re going to go out and be the catalyst that holds these people accountable, right? You’re not just going to be some keyboard warrior and just criticize people that are taking action at the polls, instead of just pissing and moaning, right?
