31. If Puerto Rican voters act like Texas Latino voters, it won't make a difference

Oct 2024

Too many Texas Latino voters have the habit of not voting at all, no matter how much racist abuse is heaved on their heads by the Far Right and Texas Republicans.

I admit I’m an Anglo, and a guy. I fought my last fist-fight when I was 23. But if you diss me and mine, I might not swing at you, but If you’re a politico running for office, you’re not going to get a free pass. I WILL vote against you in the voting booth.
