Those Texas Democrats who left Texas is a prime example of why the Democrat Party is weak.

They let Republican governors fly and bus illegal immigrants into their states/cities and they didn't do shyt but spend billions of dollars.
what the hell were the Dems supposed to do? that was a great chess move by republicans :mjlol:

Democrats are always crying about opening the border, and letting in tons of illegals, because they're supposedly "good for the country". so why would it be a problem for republicans to send busloads of illegals to blue areas :mjgrin:

They left and came back after they got a bunch of blue states to agree to do the same thing. It sucks…. But at least they didn’t role over like when Abbott started putting immigrants on buses. Trust me if this had worked out the way they wanted they would be bragging instead they opened a can of worms and they know it.

Now will the democrats actually do the dirty work we got to see, but they didn’t treat this like it was nothing and the republicans know it.

The Truth
It wasn't gonna last anyway. The delay allowed democrats to plan a response and buy time. Now, California will neutralize whatever Texas does. And other blue states can follow suit. And given that the Texas dems stayed in California, they were in direct contact with Newsom and have a plan in place.
Exactly

Their delay allowed Newsome to get off what he did and it was all they can do anyway


Republicans are the worst thing about this country, and unless their is a bunch of Luigi’s that are going to pop up and scare some sense into them, then I guess playing by these rules is the only way to go

There was an interview with one of the reps that left the state and she said it was only the first phase of their plan. They wanted to wait out that special session and make the governor call another. This gave them time to strategize and as others have stated it let democrat states like California, New York, and Illinois come up with their own redistricting plans to gain more seats.

What's wild to me is in Texas being a state rep is part time and they only make $500 a month so that fine was really coming out of their pockets from whatever their full time job was. Paying people that much a month makes it so regular working class people will rarely want to run and you'll largely get wealthy people who will just pass policy to further line their own pockets and their friends. It's disgusting.

So again, how can you say Texas Democrats are weak, yet say nothing (in the title) about the actual Texas Republicans and Republicans being weak as fukk just for doing this lame ass shyt in the first place?


Texas has been specifically rigged to be a majority republican state
