I'm not glorying in what's happening in Texas. Beto got 48%+ of the vote there.

[NNadir]

That means that 48%+ of the people of Texas are good people not wallowing in racist libertarian secessionist horse shit.

Real people, very good people, are suffering. (One of them is my niece.)

I lived two weeks without power after Hurricane Sandy. There's nothing funny about it; nothing at all.

I hope President Biden will send aid to Texas. They need our aid and our sympathy.

2. Also, some are part of our DU community

I'm right there with you, NNadir.

I hope your niece gets through this okay.

3. Biden, through FEMA, is providing aid pursuant to an emergency declaration -

FEMA is sending generators, diesel fuel, water and blankets. It's a terrible mess there, and an example of really bad government.

4. Biden won the cities

5. My hope is that it will wake up

some of the 52%

10. I agree. nt

6. This Texan thanks you.

[TwilightZone]

7. Biden got 47%

It would have been higher had there been better turnout in key areas and had some voters not been scared off by propaganda on issues like "Defund the Police"

Texas is decidedly purple.

[dalton99a]

8. +1. And the "Open Borders" smear

which really hurt Democrats in the Valley

[TwilightZone]

11. Agreed.

9. As a Texan I thank you. It was discouraging seeing so many DUers behave like they have

Some of the people I thought cared about Americans regardless of what state they live in. But as always there are some truly mean spirited DUers. It is always an eye opener.

But ya know some people just gotta hate.

12. I believe that I wrote yesterday.

DUERs are not hitting at the citizens of Texas as a whole. They are going after the knuckledraggers and the people that they elect, like Abbott and Paxton.

I only wished that people here would be more careful about how they word their irritation with Texas republican politicians and the people that elect them.

[MagickMuffin]

13. Indeed, I don't believe we deserve the scorn from people here

We are suffering and I don't care how someone voted. Whenever there is a crisis of this magnitude there should be more compassion.


I know President Biden would feel the same way.


We are the United States of America!
