Beto V Cruz: Race Tightens, Cruz allies sounding alarms

My first time seeing this.
That was...a perfect answer. Damn
HOLY SHIT WHAT
Well, he just got my vote.
If y'all can, try to donate to Justin Nelson too https://www.nelsonfortexas.com
Our current AG Ken Paxton is as corrupt as it gets. He's actually been indicted. He's also leading the charge to get DACA eliminated. Just an all around horrible person. Nelson will immediately remove TX from the DACA lawsuit if he becomes AG. He also wants to get rid of gerrymandering in TX.

Perfect answer, but why the fuck does this video need sappy music in the background?
"I don't know if what he's saying is the right thing. Oh, wait, that music. Guess he is."
Cheap tactic, and a little frustrating, but can't deny its effectiveness with the layman. 44 million views
It's just so manipulative. His words are not enough, you have to tell people what to feel.
Yeah. Shortcut to emotional impact. People remember emotional reactions more than objective information.
It's why politicians use pump-up slogans and anecdotes. Bypass the time it would take to influence everyone on an individual basis with logic or tactile solutions and go straight to the feelings with a well placed background track, memorable rhyme, or facial expression.
It's humanity's easiest exploitable weakness. The vast majority of people aren't immune, and that's something every influencer of large numbers of people keeps in mind.
Yeah I hate shit like that. It's intended to manipulate people into thinking better of whatever they're watching. What he said was already good enough, take out the music.
That's awesome, but to be fair...
(Beto WILL get a good turnout, though. I just hope it's enough.)
Hey all,
I'm going to a Beto Townhall in my town today, just moved to Texas in July so I'm looking forward to it.
Anyone have any questions they want asked that they haven't heard already? I'll try to get some of them in.

Sure but when the fuck did Mulvaney become an election handicapper?
The optimistic read would be that he's sat in on White House meetings where they've looked over their internal polls, and they're worried about Cruz.
Also, they're doing a Spoon concert for Beto in Dallas and I'm worried that by targeting me so specifically, they may be neglecting the needs of the median voter.
He can totally do this. I've seen so many Beto for senate signs in my city that it's crazy. Comparatively I've seen maybe 2 Cruz ones
You have a point, but at the same time, think of the people who are sold but are traditionally cynical about voting in Texas and need convincing/reminding that they absolutely do need to get out to the polls.
I love how they're already coming up with excuses for a close race in fucking Texas of all places.
Well now I see it.
I can't be the only one seeing the similarity.
God, getting the Polyphonic Spree is the most Dallas hipster thing in the world. I'm in
Beto needs people like you to go out and covert the median voter (neighbors, coworkers, family)
The large urban centers (Dallas, Houston, Austin, SA) are predominantly democrat already.... its the 90% of the rest of the state you have to worry about

Tarrant County is a large urban center that is still bright red. Beto has got to perform really well there.
My most memorable concert experience was The Polyphonic Spree at Fitzgeralds in Houston 4 years ago. It was such an awesome concert.

Yep. Houston, for example, hasn't elected a republican as mayor since the early 80s.
Couldn't find a better version.
Also, bookmark this for when Cruz loses.
I kind of wish this festival was happening in fort worth instead tbh.

Come on Texas! If I could vote in Texas, I woud drive over there just for election day. That's how much Cruz disgusts me.

Beto's going to need to perform really well in those bright red districts for him to have a shot. I don't know if he can do it, even in a blue wave year and Cruz's unlikabiliy. I think Beto's going to have to rely on enough GOP voters staying home. That is what doomed Roy Moore (and even then it was a squeaker).
So apparently all of us voting for Beto want to "turn Texas into California" with "tofu and people with dyed hair."

Because everyone knows there aren't people with dyed hair or vegetarians in Texas already...nope, don't exist!
God, Republicans are so out of touch and paranoid about anyone acting slightly different than their culture warrior cabals.

Yep.
Republicans slogan is pretty much "if you ain't white, you ain't right!"
To this day, I still don't understand the issue with dyed hair. I love me some colors.
Come on Texas. Drive your friends to the polls to vote.
Young people can win this. You just need to show up.
