Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In red Texas, they vote AllRed?
I'll be happy to see Ted voted out.
Oh sheet a footballer? Ted is cooked. They all claim to be christian but we know who the true god of Texas is. The almighty pigskin.
Nobody in Texas outside of Dallas or Houston cares about the NFL, though. It matters more that he played college ball at Baylor, I think.
I thunk it also matters that he wasn't very good. According to his Wikipedia page, he only played in 32 games over 4 years as a pro. That probably saved his brain from CTE.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colin_Allred
The guy went on to get a law degree and a career in government, so you’re probably right. His brain didn’t get scrambled too badly from the NFL.
You could argue, though, that if his brain did get scrambled he would make the perfect MAGA Republican
These headlines come out literally every time he's up for reelection. And he wins so easily. I feel like it's just clickbait. Or worse, calls for donations for a doomed campaign
Lindsay Graham did the same thing in his last re-election
And Mitch McConnell. Many people donated to his opponent rather than donating to other races that were Actually competitive.
Better red than Ted?
Hopefully Allred can turn Texas all blue.
