Legit question: it’s obvious that there aren’t going to be any changes until Abbott and friends are gone.
Why do y’all keep electing him?

And too many people who would vote against the current leadership don’t vote at all. It’s been really frustrating trying to convince some of my friends to vote.

This is for historical reasons in the south, much easier to keep political control if you’re the only ones who can effectively vote.
