We need to go to a random lottery drawn from net tax-paying citizens for all legislative and executive positions that are currently voted upon, with capital punishment for anyone who in any way tries to or does rig the system
None of these fucking assholes who feel they are qualified to lead should be anywhere near governmental levers of power
Fucking lol at some of his quotes. Wow. Like how do you botch the "what is something you love other than your family" question THAT badly. Like nigga just say "my old truck" or "going fishing" or whatever.

He won't. The entire point of these candidates seems to be to drive fundraising so campaign consultants can line their pockets. Friend of a friend works in Texas politics and has explained the grift to me. Though the dems may have actually gone too far with this circle head nigga.

Honestly Texas is its own unique beast in many ways. It has more of an identity than most states in ways that libtards can't actually comprehend. And its state government meets like once every two years + there are all sorts of constitutional limits on what can actually be done by government. So there are both structural and identity-level guardrails against Texas turning into some bughive IMO.

The other piece is that the state GOP apparatus also plays up the "threat" from the Dems in order to juice the fundraising. Both sides benefit bigly. MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIMES!!
Also agree re: newcomers fleeing shitlib states. I think a decent number of shitlibs that left California for Texas have since gone back. Places like Texas and Florida require some level of buy-in beyond COL advantages.

Hence the need for a lottery. You can't get worse quality, and it prevents the systemic rot that lets people wallow in corruption over decades-long careers, without any certainty that the next guys will give you a pass
Platner is an objectively good candidate who would be competitive in any centrist state or right-leaning states in a weak year
He's the type of candidate the far right needs to run. Blue-collar aesthetic while being smart, focused on economic issues that people care about, maybe do some signaling on divisive issues but don't go ham on it, then gain power and unveil yourself as an unhinged ideologue
