Remember to get out there, this is a stealth-year cycle in which your local shitbird leaders expect very low turnout alongside the Christo-Fascists pushing their theocratic agendas. Read the endorsements. You don’t have to agree and vote as they say. I just prefer them because the Austin Chronicle translates them from the legalese nonsense (the elaborate cousin language to Newspeak).
I only wish I still lived in Austin to chip in on pushing against Prop A. The last thing we need here is more fuckin’ overpaid cops given their proclivity for violence as the first resort. Plus, the prop doesn’t spell out how this ratio will be paid for. Besides, more cops doesn’t equal less crime. Larger and smaller cities have more and I wouldn’t safe they’re any safer. Case in point, other places in the Deep South.
Since I live in unincorporated Pflugerville, translation: I pay for PISD yet I don’t get to elect the assholes who run it, the bigger issues to deal with will be all the unnecessary adjustments to the Texas State Constitution. These are all an easy vote of “no,” to all despite how beneficial some may be. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again. Much like the proposition game played in California, making people vote on changing the Constitution here is the legislature is a bait-and-switch trick. The ones I always hate are all the exceptions to former service members. Look, I get you sacrificed yet remember, you volunteered, you’re not entitled to a discount on everything since I know the majority of you never saw combat, such as my Hard Right cousin; the one who talks as if he were in Team Seal Six yet was just a mechanic.
The rest of you, get out there! The Forces of Stupid and Big Jesus rarely stay home.
