“seeing as they didnt have a choice”
You always have a choice.
Conservatives stayed home during the general election as well.
3 Democrats, 1 Republican, 1 Independent
And the Republican came in 4th.
Stay home and you get what you deserve, the expansion of Big-City liberalism.
Same sex partner benefits for city employees will be coming as will irrelevant “green energy” solutions (and I suspect a whole new fleet of city owned cars, trucks, and other vehicles).
“Stay home and you get what you deserve, the expansion of Big-City liberalism.”
I share your frustration, seeing it first-hand as well in Austin... it’s a vicious cycle of liberal power that leaves many voters simply disenfranchised and not participating. I’m just explaining how it goes.
Partner benefits was voted down in Austin in the mid-1990s, but was *quietly* passed by wide margin last year. And yes, you WILL be getting Green Nonsense, like energy audits and million dollar boondoggles and reqts to paint roofs white... Houston, you have a problem!
Now what SHOULD happen is the Republicans need to stop being idiots and start smartening up and get behind ONE GOOD candidate, who at least makes it to the runoff. We COULD win these things.
