I don’t even live in Texas but honestly we need politicians like Beto
What’s so great about Beto?
- Doesn’t take any PAC money or big donor money period. Left or right. Won’t be beholden to big money interests.
- Already pledged to support Bernie’s Medicare for All bill should he win
- Legalization of Marijuana, expunging records of nonviolent drug offenders.
- He wouldn’t have voted for Kavanaugh, and he would have voted for the Violence Against Women reauthorization.
- Expanding of LGBTQ rights.
- Public works projects like extending broadband access to rural areas and funding for the rail project between Dallas-SA-Austin-Houston.
- Bringing back and protecting the voting rights act.
- Increasing money for the VA.
- Finding healthy solutions to immigration and the boarder, just like his home town El Paso a boarder town that’s one of the safest cities in the country
- Prison reform, ending for profit prisons.
If people under age 35 show up to the polls, Beto can win. There are enough young voters to get rid of Ted Cruz, who is a truly terrible person.
Vote in Texas!!!
honestly, you had me at “isn’t ted cruz”. cruz was the primary motive force behind a government shutdown over his alleged fears that the ACA would bankrupt the country. he has since supported, with no hesitation, proposed plans that would cost well over twice as much, but were proposed by Trump. if he genuinely believed that the expense of the ACA was a catastrophe that could wreck the country, i could see it as potentially at least internally consistent to shut things down, cost millions of dollars, and cause a lot of hungry people to suddenly stop getting fed, because it was that important. but he clearly didn’t, or he wouldn’t have happily supported dramatically more expensive things without any observable complaint.
he talks as though he has an ethical position, sometimes, but continued observation over time reveals otherwise.
I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW UP AT THE POLLS IN A FEW DAYS AND VOTE FOR MY BOI BETOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
