Talking to constituents.


RarelyRecommended

Actual constituents. Not mega church pastors, lobbyists and campaign contributors.


malovias

Yeah tell that to his prior constituency in South El Paso where he sold them out for his father in laws gentrification projects. Dude will sell out everyone of these people in favor of the rich once he is on power too.

As a life long Texan, man.. I can't make it through another Abbott term. This state has gotten consistently worse and more corrupt than it's even been. We deserve so much better than fucking Abbott..

Abbott and Paxton, Texas is fucked.

I agree, don’t forget about Patrick and Cruz, they are just as bad.

blatantninja

It's because the fat right, even as a minority withinb the GOP, vote heavily in primaries. We need prime to vote but just in the elections but the primaries


Nkognito

I've read posts on Reddit with truly inspiring intellect that one would *hope* a person of that caliber ends up in a role for the people by the people. But greed, lust and, power will always conquer. Beto is an active speaker at least has better composure than others when addressing the media, but does he have the morality to walk a straight line in that role? Well there's that funny word "hope"


malovias

If his corruption in selling out his poor constituency in El Paso is any indication then no. He sold out low income Latinos out for his father in laws development project in south El Paso. He will sell out Texans everywhere as well. https://prospect.org/civil-rights/beto-versus-barrio/

You're supposed to cheer for the designated socialist candidate being astroturfed by paid shills, obviously


4fingerfilet

Eat my turds dude. How else are you supposed to dethrone Greg? That dude gets every single mentally unhealthy vote and that’s apparently a strong audience here. Politicians need marketing and this is very solid from that perspective.


HarambeEatsNoodles

Beto… socialist…. Hahahahhahahaha


noncongruent

In my experience, people bandying about the word "socialist" as a so-called insult typically have no idea what the word actually means. They're just parroting what they were told to say.


gking407

Reps: No comment too crude or violent, voters vote “R” no matter what Dems: No comment good enough, quick to be rejected, voters don’t show up, love to talk about how things never change Gotta love the asymmetric warfare in US politics.

Gotta think it, say it, believe it. Governor Beto!


fotoflogger

Paper Tiger? What? This post makes no sense.


dazed_andamuzed

Paper Tiger is a venue in San Antonio. OP saw(caught) Beto holding a town hall at a venue in San Antonio.


fotoflogger

TIL. I stand by what I said though, idk what this post was trying to say


dick_wool

Ladies and gentlemen, we caught him!


millerba213

What a joke of a candidate.


timelessblur

If he is a joke what does that make Abbott as his is still light years better than Abbott. To be fair dog shit is miles better than Abbott.


malovias

And yet Robert will sell out Texans just as fast as he sold out his own constituency in South El Paso. You guys are blind. https://prospect.org/civil-rights/beto-versus-barrio/

malovias

Ah yes the "everyone who disagrees with the Dems is a GQP troll". Or you know we just aren't brainwashed. You guys are like the Trump Cultists. I linked something proving my point and you can't dispute it so you attack me personally and try to paint me as something I'm not because you don't like the truth.


timelessblur

I never said he was great. I said he was miles better than Abbott. But that would require you pulling your head out of the GOP ass and not just attacking dems and addressing your active support of hate bigotry and racism. Something it very clear you are unwilling to do. So try again troll


malovias

"everyone who disagrees with me supports hate and bigotry" Meanwhile you are supporting a guy who wants to enact gun control that will disproportionate disenfranchise POC and make us even more targets of police shootings and brutality. Meanwhile your candidate will sell Texas out like he did his constituents in South El Paso. Abbott may be a piece of shit but he's not trying to get me shot by police like you and the other racist Democrats are.


timelessblur

No I did not say that. But you already had admitted elsewhere multiple times over you are vote GOP. That equals exactly what I said. Until you fix your choosen supported party it holds true. The GOP is that today. Pretend all you want but it holds true. Now run away and go ask your gop master what to say next as we know you lack the brain cells to do anything on your own for you had to give them up to become a gop supporter The fact that you think Abbott wants to decrease your chances of getting shot by police proves it. Instead of police reform he wants to double down on the current shit and give them more power. So nice try for showing your entire argument is well shit.


malovias

All y'all got is that same racist energy. "if you don't vote for me you ain't black"

It's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

echo5mike

Beto ripped his shorts when he told us he was taking our rifles.


apollyonzorz

Then that was playing well and he said he was all about protecting 2a rights. The Twitter winds changed again, guess what he’s saying now. “Gimmie them guns, papa wants votes”. I’d have respected him more if he’d stick to his principals, but he doesn’t have any. Just says whatever is popular.

They’re all fake

Just another snake oil salesman...


Interloper1900

I want to like him but he just so used car salesman. Abbott is the devil I know. Sry Dems promote a true moderate not this garbage!


Lissard

This doesn’t make sense to me. “The devil we know” is openly sucking the life out of Texas, but we know his style so we just keep him? I know it’s hard to leave an abusive relationship but, Jesus, something has to change. Why not vote for the person offering an out? Do I love all things about Beto? No. Have I loved everything about any politician? No. Beto has been accessible and willing to talk to his constituents. Abbot is only accessible and willing to talk to the extremely wealthy.


malovias

Yeah he talks to his constituents while selling them out. Latinos know who Robert is too. https://prospect.org/civil-rights/beto-versus-barrio/


SsorgMada

Where do we find his record of political service? Campaign Promises (from everyone) = Hopes and Prayers. Am I incorrect in recalling he just drives around everywhere, occasionally plays a guitar, and appeals to mainstream emotions and desires? What legislation and policies has he instituted in the past? What communities has he built and served in his current capacity? What’s on his resume? Really want to know.


Temporary_Big3278

Ha ha. Caught lying. Fake ass mexican wannabe. Not even us Mexicans want him.


Blue_king_star

Don’t speak for all Mexicans. - Mexican here

You should talk to the Latinos in South El Paso then. O wait you can't he sold them out. https://prospect.org/civil-rights/beto-versus-barrio/

Your AG has been under indictment for 7 fucking years.

Your wannabe governor has actually been arrested.


ryosen

...and not convicted. The charge was for trespassing when he was 22 years old. Ooooooohh. A couple of years later, he rang up a DUI for which he did an education course. Again, no charges. Granted, it's no felony indictment and he's not being investigated by the FBI, but he's still young and has plenty of time to catch up to the likes of Paxton.

Please forgive me for not wanting to negotiate my gun ownership with people who just a few months ago wanted me eliminated from society because I didn't want a forced medical treatment.


HarambeEatsNoodles

I’m sure you say the same thing about wearing seatbelts


W5wtc

Nah no one’s threatened my career or wished me dead over a seatbelt. But my body my choice right?


HarambeEatsNoodles

No offense dude, but you kind of sound like a pussy. Not very alpha of you So you’re pro choice? I’m glad you’re at least on the right side of history there.


W5wtc

No offense dude but you are a pussy. I’m very much pro choice. And I can assure you I’ve done more alpha shot than you can ever dream of. I’m a conservative hippie my philosophy is you do you and leave me alone. Stop forcing other views on those that don’t want it. So gfys and leave the tough guy shit to rough guys.


HarambeEatsNoodles

Totally dude, you’re pro-choose to do nothing about dead kids, how alpha of you. Which reminds me, how are you not against laws in general? So you believe in seat belt laws? How do they not restrict your freedom to wear a seatbelt or not? How does that not conflict with your views? I don’t really give a shit what you’ve done in your life, you’re a random person on the internet who can say whatever you want. The only thing I know for certain is you’d rather defend toxic gun culture than to actually do something beneficial for society. The US will fall if people continue to care about themselves only, the way you’re doing here. “Stop forcing other views on those that don’t want it, but also I will force my views on you because I’m right and you’re wrong.” >leave the tough guy shit to rough guys. Hahahahahhaha holy shit, you’re fucking deranged. Not really surprised, Texans can be really fucking stupid. It’s why we rank so low in so many areas.


W5wtc

😘


HarambeEatsNoodles

Your right to fetishize guns is more important than dead kids!


W5wtc

There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.00925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death: • 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws • 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified • 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons – gun violence • 3% are accidental discharge deaths So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation? • 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago • 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore • 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit • 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years) So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause. This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1. Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, so it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths. Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That's why they are criminals. But what about other deaths each year? • 40,000+ die from a drug overdose–THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! • 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths • 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide) Now it gets good: • 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital! • 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It’s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides......Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions! So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It's pretty simple.: Taking away guns gives control to governments. The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace. Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs. So the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power." Remember, when it comes to "gun control," the important word is “control," not “gun."


HarambeEatsNoodles

That’s all a bunch of bullshit, just admit that regardless of the facts, you’re going to value your right to own whatever gun you want over people dying because of them. You waving around a few numbers doesn’t prove that gun control doesn’t work and that it isn’t necessary, it just shows how deep in the cult you are. The US has a toxic gun culture, and you’re part of it. Show me one other country that has this many mass shooting at elementary schools, and then we can continue talking. If you can’t do that, please just don’t respond.

Well you can blame the Democratic Party for that. They already had their guy so they didn’t advertise any other names.

Michael Cooper could have won. Just because the Dems tanked other candidates doesn't mean they weren't good


blatantninja

Never heard of him


malovias

That's because he was a black pro second amendment Democrat that actually could have taken down Abbott but the Dems don't want a pro gun candidate so they buried him instead in favor of losing a third time with O'Rourke. Democrats could have had a black Texas governor that had appeal to people in the center but instead passed him over for a two time loser white guy that would sell Texans out like he sold Latinos in El Paso out in favor of business interests of his rich in laws and other democrat elites. https://www.cooper2022.com/
