  1. I agree with a lot of this, but there are many neighborhoods city proper adjacent (3-10 miles from downtown) in Dallas, Houston and Austin that are within very short distance to restaurants/nightlife/cool parts of town that have excellent schools and sports for kids. I wouldn’t consider these suburbs. 

    WHERE you live in a city can make a huge difference in the quality of your experience.

  2. "Frisco is more Indian than India" - my Indian friend in Frisco.

    And the home of a huge Hindu Nationalist organization.

    “IMPACT: The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) is a Frisco, Texas-based Hindu non-profit organization. GHHF supports Hindu nationalist ideology and regularly publishes discriminatory, inflammatory, and intolerant content about Islam and Christianity. The group promotes anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, has raised funds to aid the demolition of Churches in India, and supports the Hindu nationalist mission of making India a Hindu-only nation”

  3. A side note about Georgia that I think is relevant is the population growth of Atlanta.  In the four years since 2020, the population has grown by estimated 450k.  Obviously, not all these folks are going to be democratic voters, but a better than majority are.  The days of Georgia being under a rural strangle hold are over.  We still have to turn out, but I like our chances of holding here.

  4. Yeah these are not liberal areas he’s suing.  Aledo is a FW suburb and Huffman had a lot of aggy.  
    He seems scared that they are telling people to vote.  

    Maybe he should sue the Legislators who are pushing vouchers.

  5. The D side doesn't have much to vote on, yet, save for Garza and Ogg

    Looking at the sample ballot in my county there are 11 contested State races and 3 Federal on the D ballot.

    On the R ballot there are 32 State and 5 Federal.
  6. They probably targeted you off your voting history and used your name and address to link you to another source that had name, address and phone.  

    I know the D running against Patterson. She told me please don’t vote in the R primary.
    (Paraphrasing)
    *Parties use this primary hard data to determine support, policy and candidates.
    *Lessens choice of candidates because the numbers show there is no support
    *Hard data will show D’s can’t get votes in your area
    * You are publicly declaring you are a R
    *Does no real good because you are either voting for a Paxton MAGA asshole or an Abbott MAGA asshole
